Oil pressure is pretty easy dude, the sensor should just screw into the cast piece where your oil filter is (on the top), run the wires through, hook up earth, power, and ignition coilwires to the ignition, then badabing badaboom! Oil pressure gauge
I've got a Podi one in the two door and I love it. Definitely worth the money (roughly $150 to my door, and that was gauge, sender, wiring harness, and installation guide)
If you want photo's though..

VDO Gauges are good kit though, i've got a tonne going into the four door. Period correct as well! They are fairly costly though. Cockpit Vision is the series that suit the Mk1 gauges best if I remember correctly

Hey Todd,

Check these out - I've got them in my Mk1 (yet to wire up) but they come with all senders. They will swap out the gauges as requested you just have to email them first. Shipping took 2-3 weeks but i reckon it's worth it.

Oh mate, that is good as. I honestly have barely looked at my engine bay as I find one thing and get side tracked and fix something else etc, but that is real rad that they already have a "sandwich plate" already. I just checked mine out and it is all good to go. I will definitely look into the Podi ones as well; never heard of them, so am interested to see what they are like! I just searched the VDO ones as yeah, I like period correct items when avail!

Hey buddy, that's real funny as that is the same eBay seller who I have saved for the VDO gauges I am after! That actually sounds easier than doing what I was doing: I emailed him asking about combined postage/all of that for the gauges I was after, and he just said he'd refund me whatever the difference was to paying like 5+ item listing postages... but I'll hit him up about swapping some gauges out for some other ones and Robert's your Mother's brother!

Thanks guys, really appreciate it!

Ok, another question...

I want to run my oil cooler very soon, but it appears I cannot if I run oil gauge/s. Is there anything like a T-piece that I can get so I can plug in the gauge off where it should be, but still run the cooler? Google isn't really helping me at the moment. I know with previous cars I was able to do this with a relocation kit, but trying to avoid that for now.

Yes t piece is doable -that's how I'm going to run my pressure and temp. Temp won't be as accuratebut iit's easier than locating it in the sump

[THRILLHAM]

Yep, definitely agree!! Thanks

Some pics from the weekend's Downshift meet. Fitted the new front bar, which is a lot straighter, but didn't run the black strip. Basically because one is really good, but missing the tabs so it doesn't sit straight. And the other has all the tabs, but is pretty ratty condition. I'll glue the better one on for the GC VW meet up.

[Browneye]

looks delicious mate! Great job

[Livinlow]

Looks great man. I always have a look at downshift. My MK1 shall join you shortly

[THRILLHAM]

Thanks bro! Can't wait.

Hey bros,

So I'm thinking of selling this sooner rather than later. I'm heading to Canada for a very long time in October. I was planning on selling around August, but think I'm going to do it sooner than that.

Just an EOI at the moment, but if anyone is interested, PM me and we will talk in finer details!

Will be out at this weekends Downshift meet and probably the Euro one in the social area of this forum.

i know this is an old thread, but what size tyres were you running on this thing?
