VDO fuel gauge.

Hi all,
With my old girl(200tdi 110) reaching her 250000 mile Birthday I decided to treat her to some new guages. Volts went in no bother and I had read on another forum that the fuel was also a straight swap....not so. The VDO sender won't fit into my tank as far as I can see so does anyone know of a way to make the 2 compatible, the sender runs to 330ohms and the gauge runs to 180 ohms. Cheers

I used Durite gauges on my 1986 90.
No need to use the Durite fuel-tank sender as the original worked perfectly with the new fuel gauge being totally accurate. If there is a downside then it is only that the original gauge was damped to give a constant reading whereas the Durite gauge will move when cornering, off-road etc when the fuel level varies. That said, it isn't a problem for me and I don't give it a moments thought.
I did use the Durite sender for the engine temperature but that screwed straight into the housing and gives an excellent reading, far more accurate than the original unit.

All my other guages are vdo so ideally I want them to match. Just wondering if there's a way with resistors or some other trickery to make them compatible. I've got to original one back in now as that still works. Hopefully one of the Landyzone genius folk will come good!

I think I have found the answer.....I google it relation to the sender rather than the gauge and it's all there, £5 potentiometer and it'll be in next weekend! Along with the boost gauge!
