thnikkamax Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Guys, This is more of a wiring issue than the actual ol' temp sensor on the Z's. I have this VDO Cylinder Head Temp Gauge that I want to mount on my dash. It was mixed in with a box of garage sale parts I bought months ago. I figured I'll just use it, but the only problem is that it only has the 4 loose wires. 2 of the wires are for (+) & (-) for the backlight. The other two wires were supposed to go into a connecter that then connected into the Temperature Sender (see below) If you blow up the picture, it looks like it's a simple wire assembly. Does this look like something that can be made from scratch? A specific wire? Any diodes or other thingamadoodads that might be in there but I'm not catching? I guess I could pay $25 for it and wait 3-5 days, but not if I can make it at home tonight with what I have. This slides onto the spark plug so the ring gets pinched between the plug and the head. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
