    have a look at post # 165 onwards of this thread. Cogdoc found out it is better if the probe for the gauge is actually in contact with the engine oil (rather than air)

      Oily air thankyou very much....

      And it's an easy task to get a sump plug with a specific sensor hole for the engine, and just bolt it all in. Make sure the wire is long, as it gets a bit of a twist going!

          There is temperature probe from VDO which replaces the oil dipstick, that could be the fastest way to fit oil temp. gauge.

                ...and that's some great advice there. Think before drilling!
