  • VDO Oil Pressure sender has 1/8” NPT male threads

  • Sender either has 1 terminal (VDO 360-004) or 2 terminals (VDO 360-025)

  • If sender has 1 terminal, it is Signal and the Case of the sender must be grounded to Engine Block or RDAC Ground by clamping or brazing a wire to the case

  • If sender has 2 terminals, there are two options:

    • If terminals are labeled G and WK, G is the signal and WK is not used. The Case is ground.

    • If the terminals are not labeled, then one terminal is to be signal and the other is to be connected to ground. The polarity is not important.

  • Run a hose off the oil supply with a female 1/8” NPT fitting and connect to Oil Pressure sender
