Not sure what this part does.
Can anyone enlighten me?
thanks. |

| I have a part that looks like that attached to the water tank on my 82. I assume it is for the LED water level display. |

does your water tank have the sensors on the wall of the tank, or does it have a float sensor attached to the tank lid? |

My 85 Westy has sensors through the side wall. The lid is just a screw on lid.
....just for interest sake. My van is Canadian spec and uses an external pump. I am to understand the US vans have an internal pump in the tank. |

hmmm
where I am coming from is this:
my 1990 van LED panel reads water full... always... whether the tank is full or not. I have a float style sensor and an in-tank pump..
I have a line on a 1987 LED panel, that looks just like mine (at least in photos), but comes out of an 87 westy that also needed the part above, in the circuit).
wondering if I can swap out the panel, and leave the part shown out of the mix...
i guess there is one way to find out! |

The '87 uses the on-tank style sensor, while '88+ uses the float sensor.

I would think so... but there again it is a VW we're talking about. :lol: :P
Here's the wiring on the float-style and pump:
