Need VDO Temp Sender

My local guy is having a problem finding water temp senders for my VDO gauges. (100-220 degrees) Anyone got a source?

And before anyone says anything, yes, I am planning on redoing the entire dash with new gauges.

Thanks!

Wow. Funny I was just going to post a problem with my vdo temp gauge. Maybe you can tell m if the sender is the problem. My gauge works very sparatic. I tried the grounding technique and gauge seemed fine. Connected it and it worked for a minute and stopped. It happens over and over. I got my sender from ft lauderdale. Florida

The way I could tell (at first) that it was the sender is I looked at the engine data from the laptop, showed 20+ degree difference between what the engine saw and what the gauge said. Next time out, the gauge showed 160 degrees at START UP. It starts there and just goes up.

So is there a program I can get for my laptop to check that.
