Six years ago I installed a VDO external temperature gauge in my 1975 Targa.
At the time the gauge and sender cost $100.
I’m trying to do the same project in my golf cart. I’ve purchased a VDO Viewline gauge (sample image below) but the damn thing did not come with a sender.
I’ve emailed and called VDO to no avail. I went to North Hollywood Speedometer and bought a sender that I thought was in the right range, but as it turns out was for engine water temps (100-240F.) In fact, I am having difficulty identifying the correct part number for this gauge. The one installed in my targa does not have a part number stamped on it.
Here is the question: Does anyone have a good resource to buy/identify a sender that is the correct OHM range for my gauge?
I even have a spare boat OAT (Outside Air Temperature) gauge, but cannot find a sender for that one either. Yes I did call that company and ask for the part number to no avail. You would think I am trying to buy uranium.
Thanks
