VDO Oil pressure and temp senders help needed...
I have a 84 4kq and I am trying to put the VDO guages.
Where can I put the Oil pressure sender? I can't find an open oil galley or a plug to remove.... And how exactly does it wire up? The sender has two posts one marked G and one W (I think). And the gauge has one marked G(I think) Is the sender supplied with power? then wire the G post to the G terminal on the Gauge? Or is it grounded?
How can I get the Temp gauge working too? I suppose I will need that sender as well??? Where does it go/ come from?
Please help if you can, I have a million other projects going on too before I can get this dash back together and the car all ready for winter.
Also, anyone looking know how to get the Power window switch lights working if you swap in some from a newer 1990s Audi?

Okay, so I tried the search and figured how to wire the Oil pressure gauge. Now I just need to figure the oil temp gauge out...

Dude.... look no further... Jerky's got all the answers!!!!
Question, are you using the stock audi (VDO) gauges or off the shelf VDO??????
I found out the hard way the stock Audi senders aren't compatible with the aftermarket VDO's and vice a versa!!!
In the pic below are the sender on top (little can)
and the idiot light sender below it:
