VDO Gauges

<h3>About VDO Gauges</h3><p><strong>VDO</strong> is one of the most storied names in vehicle instrumentation, with roots stretching back to 1929. <a href="/735-vdo-gauges">VDO</a> was born from the merger of two German speedometer manufacturers — DEUTA and OTA — in Frankfurt am Main, and quickly became a household name among drivers worldwide. The brand's widespread recognition grew alongside the iconic VW Beetle, whose speedometer bore the VDO trademark starting in the late 1930s. Today, VDO is a trademark of the Continental Corporation, bringing the resources of one of the world's largest automotive suppliers to bear on every product it makes.</p><h3>A Legacy of Quality and Precision</h3><p>For nearly a century, VDO has been engineering instruments that meet or exceed the standards set by vehicle manufacturers. Their aftermarket replacement parts are built to the same specifications as factory-fitted components, offering drivers and technicians a level of confidence rarely found in the aftermarket space. VDO manufactures its sensors in ISO- and TSO-registered facilities, using the same engineering processes and quality materials as its original equipment products.</p><p>VDO's catalog spans both passenger cars and commercial vehicles, covering everything from <a href="/735-vdo-gauges-gauges-200483">gauges</a> — including tachometers, speedometers, oil pressure, and temperature instruments — to sophisticated electronic sensors for modern engine management systems. The brand also has a deep heritage in the marine world, having supplied instrumentation for pleasure boats, yachts, and sailing vessels since 1958.</p><h3>Instrumentation for Every Application</h3><p>One of VDO's most exciting product segments is its multi-function display systems, which consolidate critical engine and vessel data into a single, easy-to-read interface. These displays represent the evolution of VDO's traditional analog expertise into the digital age, supporting protocols like NMEA 2000® for seamless integration with modern marine electronics.</p><p>On the sender and sensor side, VDO offers a comprehensive ecosystem of parts designed to work in harmony with their gauges. Their <a href="/735-vdo-gauges-boost-pressure-sender-20126">boost pressure senders</a> are a go-to choice for turbocharged vehicle owners who need accurate real-time boost readings, while <a href="/735-vdo-gauges-fuel-level-sensor-10729">fuel level sensors</a> provide reliable tank monitoring across automotive and marine platforms. VDO's engine management portfolio also includes <a href="/735-vdo-gauges-mass-air-flow-sensor-5128">mass air flow sensors</a> engineered to deliver precise air-volume data critical for optimal fuel delivery and emissions control.</p><h3>Why Choose VDO?</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li>Nearly 100 years of instrumentation expertise dating back to 1929</li><li>Products manufactured to OE-equivalent quality standards in certified facilities</li><li>Broad compatibility across cars, trucks, commercial vehicles, and marine applications</li><li>A complete ecosystem of matched gauges, senders, and sensors for consistent, accurate readings</li><li>Backed by the engineering resources of the Continental Corporation</li></ul><p>Whether you&apos;re restoring a classic, upgrading a performance build, or replacing a worn sensor on a daily driver, VDO delivers the precision and durability that professionals and enthusiasts have relied on for generations.</p>

Product Details

The VDO 226-635 is a precision reed switch fuel level sender designed for accurate fuel level monitoring in marine, automotive, and industrial applications. This 350mm (13.78-inch) sender unit utilizes advanced reed switch technology to provide reliable resistance-based fuel level readings.

Key Features:

  • Reed switch technology for reliable, long-lasting performance
  • 350mm (13.78 inches) sender length for deep tank applications
  • 240-33 Ohm resistance range compatible with VDO fuel gauges
  • Durable construction for harsh environments
  • Direct replacement for original VDO senders
  • Accurate fuel level sensing throughout the resistance curve

This sender is engineered to work seamlessly with VDO fuel gauges that operate on the 240-33 Ohm resistance scale. The reed switch design eliminates the sliding contact points found in traditional rheostat-style senders, reducing wear and providing consistent readings over the sender's service life. The 350mm length makes this unit ideal for deeper fuel tanks commonly found in boats, RVs, and commercial vehicles.

Would be 5 star if package wasn't bent in shipping. However customer service and refund were prompt and courteous. Will recommend and shop with them again.
