You need two temp sensors, air and coolant ;^) Thanks for giving me the
opening!

early 90's 16V Passat with automatic transmission.

BTW, I agree with Brian's assessment of the SDS. In the end after you
account for all the sensors and bits you need to buy to convert the SDS
isn't more than a couple hundred cheaper and the lack of a PC interface
is a DETRIMENT!
