Just like the subject heading... I'm looking to see if its feasible to install an oil level sender on my 1.6TD.
I've found that vw has oil level senders for their cars since '98 or so. I'm guessing there could be quite possibly a ton of work involved in retrofitting one on an old diesel block.
Does anyone have any experience changing, or even holding one in their hand? What do they look like? My guess is that it is just some type of 'float' system.
I know this isn't really a performance enhancing upgrade, but it would would give greater piece of mind while driving down the road, knowing the engine isn't starving for oil, after say a hard run etc. Rather than having to open the hood, and check oil level on a regular basis.
The one I checked online was for a passat, and is listed at around $100
Any info appreciated! Thanks guys!
I guess most are like me, never had the chance to fool with one.
Sorry

no prob, thanks for the reply! I guess I will need to do more research on oil level senders. maybe build my own
Can you give me an example of what engine these came on? Perahps an engine code?
I have some dealer specific engine/shop documentation that might give us some details on the systems...
EMP advanced products. I cant wait until they release their electric high flow oil pump. I've been waiting for a while now
Imaging pre and post lubrication? no need for a turbo timer
I was also considering their electric waterpump. Our motors would heat up faster as well if the coolant was just 'sitting' in the head
might put a bit too much load on the alternator though. And $400USD later... although the american dollar is only $1.10 cdn now
what the heck is their Oil Mate? Hmm... burns bad oil... introduces clean oil into the bad oil.... interesting... (on EMP website)
The VDO dipstick replacement seems very interesting... Thats the one I would want! But where to buy?
