should have asked two days ago, i had mine out on fri.... wouldnt it be easier to put in the fill plug, though? it would be higher, and you wouldnt have to drop tranny fluid to service/install it.

Ya but it's not going to sit in the fluid at the fill point would it?

na the fill hole wouldn't' provide sufficient soaking / temp readings

why do you want to know the fluid temp? If you have a proper fluid level your temps should be fine, what can you do about it anyways if it reads too hot?

you're not just trying to fill holes in an aftermarket pillar cluster are you? haha

i have a set of interceptor gauges on the way and they run off the OBDII they will read tranny temp but i need to put a sensor in it if i had a A4 it would already have the sensor.i just like my gadgets and i want to get the most out of it that i can.
