Santa Claus came a day early here and brought me a Gene Berg oil temperature dipstick. I got it installed today in 5 minutes. I haven't used the car yet but will report on how it works for me. Seems like a good idea as it makes your oil idiot light flicker (and later stay on) when the oil temperature gets dangerously high for an aircooled VW engine. All for $19.50 seems like a good idea for some peace of mind. Anyone else here has it installed in their car?

No Howard, just GB 227 and that's it. It's about a 5 min. install and all you need to do is crimp a couple of the terminals included in the kit to the heat resistant cable included in the kit and just hook it up to the oil pressure sender and replace the original oil dipstick with the unit. That's it.
