The 2.0 oil filter flange allows for the simple installation of an oil temperature sender and an oil pressure sender. The flange houses 1 blank plug and a stock oil pressure sending unit - both with M10x1 threads. The following information applies to VDO gauges being installed in the mk4 2.0 only.

Plug #10 is an excellent location to measure oil temperature. VDO's 300°F Oil Temp Sender, part # 323-423 will take the place of the blank plug and accurately measure oil temperature. If measuring oil pressure but not temperature, VDO's 80PSI Oil Pressure Sender, part # 360-001 will also take the place of plug #10 if the engine speed sensor electrical connector bracket is removed. If this bracket is not removed the sender will not physically fit. In this case, use our Oil Pressure Relocation Kit, part # 42-004.

If measuring oil temperature and pressure, you will need an Oil Pressure Relocation Kit, part # 42-004. Our oil pressure relocation kits have been designed to allow our customers to install VDO's 80psi M10x1 Oil Pressure Sender and the OEM oil pressure sender remotely. The oil pressure relocation kit will take the place of the stock oil pressure sender, #11 as shown below. The stock sender will now be located aside the VDO sender 12" away from the oil filter flange where sufficient room exists.

Tools Required:
24mm Deep Socket
5mm Hex Wrench

When installing oil sending units it is important to maintain a ground between the sending unit and the engine block. Ground is normally maintained in the threads of the sending unit. Use only 1 wrap of teflon tape on sender threads to assure no leaks or loss of ground.
