Oil pressure meter

[jlagnese at massed.net (John S. Lagnese)]

It should be on the oil filter flange. It will be a fairly large unit. Is
your gauge a 5 or a 10 bar. 16V's need a 10 bar.
Does anyone know how the wiring goes on those VDO oil pressure gauges? I
picked one up for the daily driver. There is a brown (ground), a black that
has a + on the gauge. The third is blue white stripe with an inverted on the
gauge.

be hooked up properly because as soon as I start the car, the needle slams
all the way to the end. I followed the wire attached to the dial which was
hooked into the fuse box but it was not associated with anything related to
oil pressure. I'd like to simply run a wire directly off the engine. Can
someone tell me where on the engine the hook-up might be.
