Has anyone fitted a temperature gauge to one of the 350J models & if so what sort of temperature readings are you getting?
Sorry, I meant one of those oil temperature things that goes in the oil filler hole.
I did that on my T100 once. Wow, that was exciting! Hard to imagine how far that oil gets thrown.Having started my 350J without replacing the oil filler plug, I can testify that an oil filler plug temp gauge will have its bottom very well bathed by oil thrown off the clutch pack. Given good quality gauge design and construction, it ought to work.
My '22 classic has an oil temp sensor, turns on the check engine light. Being lazy, I let it keep track for me.

How did you fit a sensor to the VW sump? Dad had a '62 beetle, I remember him worrying about the engine temp back then.
