Picked one up. Thanks for explaining how to calibrate it.

Never New you had to set them bin running mine factory set.

thanks for the explanation, i have one of these lying around

Just scored one still in the box at a swap meet!

They still make those temperature dipsticks he's got a video on YouTube the video depicts a Volkswagen with flames coming out of the engine that's the one you want they do still sell them I just purchased one and this is December 2019

just got mine! hooking to a type 4 engine.

Geezee I'm not that mechanically inclined and I needed this video bad.  Thanks I appreciate you

I used a (common cheap)TypeK thermocouple wire pushed down the dip stick tube far enough to be into the oil at least an inch  , bend the wire coming out of the tube down along side of it and secure it with a zip tie to hold it in place so when you pull the dip stick in and out the wire stays put .  The wires come in various lengths I got a 6 foot one , work it thru a little hole in the fire wall or heater box to a cheap voltmeter in the cockpit that has TypeK  plug inlets and check your temp digitally F or C   . You can even attach TypeK thermocouples to the cylinder heads to get the head temp of each cylinder  . Tiny amazing things !!

These are still being made and you can buy these direct from the manufacture at www.savemybug.com

My brother and I graduated from El modena High with the Berg brothers Doug & Dave in 1979 and 1980. Are they still in business?
