Do your diagrams reflect the documentation provided with the VDO gauge?
no diagram with this sensor
and my VDO JAUGE give only 2 diagrams with sensor 1 or 2 pins
> i will test this evening

OK
but is this diagram correct ?;)

i THINK that this up schematic is the good wiring.
if I don't have a warning lamp i have to connect directly narrow (WK) pin to + and large pin (S/G) to pin- signal jauge ?
-
HELLO
I BOUGHT the sensor for my VDO jauge but i am not sure for the wiring
in the notice there is a pin for "alarm light +" and the pin (large) for +
so is it exact to connect the battery + to large pin and a wire to signal jauge to narrow pin as below diagram?
Thank you !

here the OHM mesures made by a man on the web for the original sond and remplacement sond NEW ACDELCO G 1852 :

ok
if I understand correctly , either I have to measure the ohms on my probe RIVIERA to correspond with a gauge or replace my Riviera probe with another that goes with a gauge

I used a Bosch mini mechanical temp gauge connected to the engine. There is an opening on the top left hand side in the back. The heat sensor bulb goes in there. I mounted the mechanical gauge for water temp and oil pressure in the ash tray opening of my 63 Riviera. Works good. I drilled a 2" diameter hole in the floor next to the console on the right hand side to get the water and oil temp cables. I used mechanical because I seem to think mechanical in this instance is more accurate.
and you use the only thread of your car for signal temperature? AND + and -

hELLO
To overcome the malfunction of the dashboard indicator, i decided to fit a external water temperature jauge as
but it is not efficient ...
The sensor signal in my car WITH one wire is not compatible with this modern jauge ?
It is necessary to use a signal sensor with 2 wires (masse+signal)?😁

Just for information for those looking to do there own seat repair.
DO NOT use coat hanger as it will shortly deform after you start sitting on it.
USE THE CORRECT LISTING WIRE as it will NOT deform over the passage of time.
The CORRECT stuff is cheap as opposed to other parts as are used on our Rivs.
Tom T.
On my jobs i use this kit and i didn't see deform
This is more rigid that the sold kit...🙂
Attention: i use large staff as sèche linge

What does the gauge show when the engine is at operating temperature? Is it anywhere near the center of the range?
Sometimes the gauge works and rises depending on the engine temperature rise and sometimes not...
and in this case, the needle returns completely to the left
It is probably a problem with electrical contact? TACHYMETER Ground ?
But this intermittent breakdown is annoying !
Reassembling the dashboard is a chore!! 🥵

I have a 1965 Riviera GS that I had the same problem, I replaced the radiator with a high-flow version since I live in Florida. After replacing I started it up and let it idle while replacing the water/antifreeze, for 1/2 hour, looked good so I road tested it for 40 minutes and is working fine now, pretty much stayed at +/- 185 degrees.
My radiator specialist has completely disassembled the radiator ; the body was changed identically with 3 rows but with more channels and it is a little thicker; the transmission oil cooler was cleaned and the drain plug changed ; finally it was painted black !🙂

THERE remains the concern with the temperature needle on the dashboard
sometimes it moves and sometimes it doesn't
wire certainly ?🤨 the temp probe is new
-
so i just changed my radiator and....and.....the heating problem seems to be solved !!!! YES !!!!!
😉
I saw the inside of the old one (which was completely opened by the repairer who changed the entire interior body) and it was very clogged (the 3 rows) !
i also installed the expansion tank with the dual inlet/outlet radiator cap
I will post some photographs online 🙂
