Oil Pressure Gauge

1

Has anyone installed an oil pressure gauge to their 2.1 WBX engine? I have seen a clip on YouTube but am wondering if any of our members have done something like this? Just Kampers sell VDO kits but I would need to check that they are OK for a WBX.

Hi Peter
Bought a kit from Van Cafe
Comes with fitting instructions and very easy to do
Relieves the stress levels when oil buzzer triggers

Hi Peter,
This could be it ...

Also consider next item, also for Hartmut, now available in silicone ...

I put mine together using locally sourced parts but realised later it would have been quicker and cheaper to just buy a kit. The van cafe one looks pretty good, but I bought a kit from Chris Corkins (Vanistan) for a 2wd I once owned. If you are looking at his website think about an oil cooler too. Bit exxy but well worth it in the long run. Eddie

Thanks Eddie. The oil pressure gauge is not on his website but I like the cooler. Hmmmmm. Food for thought.

And thanks Ken, I had checked out the Van-Cafe kit after getting the reply from Philippe. It looks good to me.

Regards, Peter

I made my own kit for my T2, thankfully it never served any purpose other than something interesting to watch on long trips (I had a whole array of gauges)

For the Syncro, I was thinking a nice simple way to plug a gauge in if there is an issue like the tapping point for the EFI. Have not looked, but can't be hard to get something.


A vacuum gauge is a good tool to carry also!
