fuel level sender unit for 924 dashes

[maniac]

Hello,

is there a possibility of receiving the fuel level on my 1303 with my new 924/944 dashes?
The orginal 1303 Sender doesnt work. No High level, no empty level.

Which sender unit can i use?

Yeah, I'd like to know about this too. I've got an earlier (1971) super, and guages that have the round connector on the back. I finally got all the wires sorted out, but not the senders.

Is there a "generic" fuel sender or can you use some sort of resistor or other electronic doo-dad to change the level readings?

I was also wondering which VDO oil temp sending units would make the water temp guage work?

I have never done this one. I would start with readig the scale(resistance) of a 944 sender and compare it to the scale of the 1302/1303 sender. then you could add resistance to the stock sender to get the full level or mabey find a sender with the proper scale.

Thanks- I kind of figured that's what I'd have to do.
Taking the guage apart and putting the VW one in is not an option with the one I have.

Can the float level be changed in the sending unit to get a different reading, if adding a resistor dosn't work?

Not the range of the gauge, test the range of the senders.

if you are trying to adjust your fuel gauge....there should be an adjuster on the 71 bug....my 64 has a flathead screw adjuster on the bach it is located on the back of the fuel gauge tward the bottom....I hope this helps...I am not sure what you guys are trying to do....lol....DEAN
