Temperature sensors for Volkswagen Beetle

As we all know, oil is the lifeblood of the VW Type 1 engines in our Beetles and related vehicles.
Keeping the oil at the right temperature is essential. By simply replacing your original dipstick with this oil temperature sensor and reconnecting it to the original oil pressure switch using the kit supplied with instructions and double plug, you'll now be able to monitor your engine's oil temperature without the need for an additional dipstick on the dashboard, with all the associated wiring hassles (extra wires to run, dipstick installation, etc.).
Your oil warning light will now perform two functions: it will continue to function as an oil pressure warning light as before, but it will also become an oil temperature warning light!
Under normal conditions, your light will remain off.
- If the light starts flashing, your engine temperature is getting too high (around 108°C), and it's time to take your foot off the accelerator to lower engine speed or take a break.
- If the light comes on continuously, your engine's temperature is definitely too high (around 115°C) and you need to stop the engine to cool it down.

No more worries in hot weather or traffic jams!

6- or 12-volt operation It is imperative to adjust the height of the sensor cap with the original dipstick to get the right oil level info.
Pass the wire behind the dynamo and igniter foot, disconnect the wire from the original oil pressure sensor, connect the new wire to the pressure sensor with the double lug and reconnect the original pressure wire.
And that's it! Your dashboard light now plays a dual role!
