working on my '97 130 w/ a 300tdi and AC (no condenser fan). About to decide on what i'm doing for a cooling upgrade, as I am considering the upgraded setup from RN, w/ the stock+ allisport IC. Either way, I have VDO gauges and will be adding in an EMS3, just looking for some help collecting the sensors that I need and what I need to do to split some with the VDO. On top of the cooling, I am likely installing my revotec fan, so I need to put the sensor in for that as well (use thermostat housing cap sensor?). I have a "OEM" rad with 1/8npt sensor port, but unsure if II want to build my own, or just buy the complete setup from Zack. My SA radiator has been repaired and I think my IC has a small pinhole leak...Thanks in Advance.
What I have
VDO Fuel - done
VDO Water Temp - done (stock location, new sensor)
VDO Oil Pressure - not done (maybe put Madman here in binnacle, and do all oil from madman rather than actual gauge?)
What I want with Madman
Boost - use madman kit I have
EGT - what probe length do I need?
Low Coolant alarm - Use the rad fill cap sensor from madman?
Low Oil alarm -
Tach - W wire
What sensors I have from madman
Boost (MPS2), w/ hoses
??? MPS5, no clue what this 5 bar was for
TP60 K probe - will a 60mm probe fit the 300tdi?
