OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Adapter Bushing for Oil Pickup Side of Engine Case, 1/2" NPT to 1/8 X 27 NPT

Price: $9.95

Adapter Bushing for Oil Pickup Side of Engine Case, 1/2" NPT to 1/8 X 27 NPT is used to install the oil temperature sending unit into the flow of the oil pump INLET, which gives the most accurate and fastest response to the oil temperature. To use this adapter you must remove the galley plug on the supply side of the pump (RH of the engine case) and tap it to 1/2" NPT. This provides a 1/8" NPT thread for the majority of oil temperature senders, and this location will not block or hinder oil flow to the oil pump. more info

VDO Sending Unit "T" Adapter, 1/8 - 27, V240850

Price: $14.95

"T" Adapter for VDO Sending Unit, 1/8 - 27, V240850 is used when you want to use 2 sending units in the same place.

The VDO idiot light sender goes on at 8-10psi, the stock VW sender is set to trigger at 2.5-3psi. Low pressure like this is NORMAL for the VW at hot idle. more info
