Usually when you buy an aftermarket water temp gauge it comes with directions. My friend has the autometer water temp gauge, and it came with a sensor to replaces the stock sensor.

Then install the sensor and wire it up... pretty straight forward

will there be any clearance issues? (the VDO gauge is mechanical and the probe is fairly large)
