The 6V are the same as 12V units. I bought mine from the DDB after I started this thread last year. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=88757&highlight=sending
You can probably test yours with an ohm meter to measure resistance as the float moves. Something else to point out is to check for continuity from the take to the body to make sure the tank is grounded well. The sender relies on that ground to work properly.

Good to know. Not complaining for a minute but I think I paid around $75 for a used replacement. $25 is a great price. What if the thin wire is broken? Do you have replacement parts?

I am currently ssearching for sources for the filament and am following up on many promising leads. I have three cores right now that I am in the process of polishing the tops. Pot metal tends to tarnish and corrode after 30 years.

Thanks. I cleaned this one when I did the tank, but Just trying to sort out what is at fault Guage or sender (the wire to to guage is good). Can you tell me how you test these?
Did you just post on the T2 email list look for wire? |
