Gti-6 Oil Temp Sensor

[Andy F 0]

Hi people

 

As i have fitted a gti-6 sump to my MI to get the extra capacity etc. The oil temp sensor is different.

 

I have purchased a gti-6 sensor but the sensor is a 2 pin as opposed to a 1 pin like the old one was.

 

I just wondered if these wired the same with the added extra of a sensor earth?

 

Thanks

Replace it with an original 205/405 sensor. They're electrically different and will make your gauge read low. There are two sizes, M14 and M16. Just find the correct one for the GTi6 sump, and/or drill & tap the sump to suit the larger sensor.

Not sure of the size, but it's the later model one that fits.

I think it's M16.

It will be M14. I bought an oil temp sensor for a V6 negine(Pug605/Citro XM) It has got 1 pin. It's not the good one, now I know. The data sheet says it DEG110.

 

205 GTi oil temp sensor is DEG140 Pug number is 0242 50

I found the good one. Pug number is 0242 81 It is used after 02.09.1993 in XU5M/XU52C/XU9J2/XU92C and its DEG140 too.

 

 

I hope it will help!

0242 81 is the one you want.

I've got the 2 pin blue one in my 2.0T engine and it reads just fine...

 

Just connect 1 pin to earth and the other to your dashboard.

Looking on my VTS loom there is only one wire that goes to oil temp sensor

Even though sensor has two pins in it??????

Yeah they like doing that...

Not a problem, that the original sensors spec is 155DEG?

I've ordered the sensor mentioned above, so it doesn't matter, but I am interested in this question

The 405 one is m16. Hole in gti6 sump is m14

 

so dothe do a single connection m14?

As per previous reply, 0242-81.

M14 thread for later model 205.

mine sits on the 3rd bar of the std 1900 oil temp gauge, never goes above it. Running the Mi16 engine and 'six' sump (should be called a 7 cos' that's how many ltrs it nearly holds) with mocal cooler and sandwich plate with built in oil stat

So yes it reads low, but not by much.
