MikeVR6 0 Posted January 15, 2012 There is a set on eBay ATM for around £260 + p&p. Fair play to the guy, he making 20% profit on that. Not exactly taking the ****. I bought one of the last ones from VW UK stock years ago. I think it was around £80 at the time. The ARZ Tuning are completely the same as the original. In fact they are the original. ARZ contacted the VW supplier and ordered a new batch made. I think there must be quite a mark-up on them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegrouch 10 Posted January 15, 2012 Bugger I've just bought that set off eBay because I'd always thought them rare as rocking horse ****. Wish I'd seen this thread earlier but I suppose I've always wanted a set and these are genuine VW still boxed and wrapped so not all bad + the arz's don't include shipping so not 2much outta pocket Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted January 15, 2012 Kip - did you use a VDO dual pole sender 10 bar M10x1 from Merlin Motorsport along with the connectors that fendervg used? I'd recommend you use the two pole sender directly into the pressure switch hole. Otherwise you will have a bad time trying to seal up a "T" piece in that position. The sender body only just clears the top of the oil filter housing as it tightens up, so observe closely the gap during final tightening. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rams 0 Posted January 17, 2012 What pressure should the dual pole sender be? I ve got ordered the connector block and wiring from TPS and contacted Merlin and need to know at what point the buzzer should sound. They do 0.9 bar and a 1.3. Does anyone know what this should be so I can complete the parts required to fit them? Cheers Rams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rams 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Is there a definative - connecting the existing wiring found behind the dash centre console and the wire near the oil filter housing for these gauges? The others that ordered their sender from Merlin, what did you order as he asked me, '' do I need a 0.9 or 1.3 bar sender and what that equated to roughly in PSI.

Redfox 10 Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) HI all, I also installed the late style vdo into my centerconsole. I have the blue/white single wire ready in the engine compartment, and I went to VW to get the special sender. Not available any more ;( Grrrrr... So, does anyone else make it? Can it be bought? Is it sitting in the mounting hole, and the normal oiltemp sensor on top of that new sender? Or is the correct one a two pole sender (wrongly described in Etka)??? Etka page 212-00 is showing it. Only mentioned on page 212-10 as well. Btw. I want to retain the original 1,8 bar warning function. I guess I have to find such a double pole common ground vdo sender. Dead or alive, I want such a sender. Please help ;) please, please, please... Cheers, Redfox. Edited July 14, 2012 by Redfox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
science 0 Posted July 15, 2012 Do you have the VDO part number? Bought mine from here, http://www.egauges.com/vdo_send.asp?Sender=150PSI_10Bar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redfox 10 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Hi Science, No, I don't have the VDO part number, only the VW Etka number (535-919-561B). From the list you have supplied, would that be the 360-033 part (2936 psi warning version) ? That seems to be warning at 2,06 bar, not 1,8 as in the VW case. Or the 7 psi version from the list? Does that influence anything? Like for example warn when driving normally when warmed up, as the oilpressure would be 2,0 bar? Cheers, Redfox.

science 0 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Not sure about the 1,8 bar sensor, thought it was 1,4 bar, but it was a long time ago. I replaced the blue oil switch with the dual pole VDO 360-023. Here the info I have; On the filter housing you should have 1 temp sender and 2 warning pressure switches, (high 1,4 bar) one triggers the oil light, (low 0,25 bar) the buzzer. Green wire goes to White Temperature Sender 1H0919563 Yellow wire goes to Black 1,2 - 1,5 bar Oil Pressure switch 068919081 Blue wire goes to Blue 0,15 - 0,35 bar Oil Pressure switch 028919081D Sealing washer for sensors N0138115 On the VDO 360-023 dual pole sender, G terminal goes to the oil pressure gauge, WK terminal connect to Blue wire.

tomi 10 Posted July 15, 2012 I bought this one of that fellow in the link belowe. Its p&p and working ideal in my vr. 100% recomend http://www.ebay.de/itm/VDO-Oldruckgeber-Oldruckschalter-0-10-bar-Warnkontakt-/200789962823?pt=DE_Autoteile&hash=item2ec003b047#ht_1019wt_1396 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeVR6 0 Posted July 16, 2012 I've got the same sender as Tomi. My previous Corrado had the same too. Never had a problem. But I must admit I never tested the high or low pressure warnings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
