the easiest way to fix the problem would be to work out what the range of the gauge is, if you have a variable resitance and voltage regulator you can attach it to the gauge, start at very low values and work out the threshold, then get a vdo sender to match.

If you dont have the equipment or a auto elec close to you that does then take the senders you have, work out which one gets highest up the gauge and work out the temp to resistance values, then try and guesstimate which VDO sender will be a closest match. A really easy way to do this would be to raid a few temp senders off various cars at your local wrecker and test each one.

By rights I think im correct in saying that digital dash's genrally have a lower resistance range than analogue but that doesent seem to be the case with your unit.
