If they are the ones I think they were from sonofsam on here, I actually gave them to him for free.

is the only reason for fitting these that the dials have numbers on?

No, they light up green and the oil pressure gauge doubles up as an oil level gauge when the engines not running

Not on the 205 GTI engine because very few have this sensor & wiring fitted because it was so inaccurate.

 

Infact if you leave the extra box on the back of the clocks when you fit them into your 205, does the oil pressure guage doesn't work?

 

I used to have two sets of these clocks which I ripped apart for various bits, Henry Yorke got the panels off me to fit to his clocks but I don't know if he ever has done.

Ha! I was watching them, something like 5 minutes before the end they were on £9 so I thought worth a pop. Went to bid and they had shot up to £45. No way José! Was just hoping to save me the hassle of dismantling a nearby BX but buggered if I'll pay nearly £50 for em...

Sorry to hijak but I have a sensor at the rear of my block, looks like its pointing down into the sump. Is that this oil level sensor then? I take it the 205 dash can't deal with it then?

some 205's did have them fitted so it could be that yes, can;t imagine it not working, I know that the S16 and GTi6, and the V6 all have different sensors but they all work with each other.

There's nothing connected to it at the moment, its just a single spade though just like the other similar sensors, so connecting that should give me oil level. cool! now to find out what goes where electrically.

The oil level sensor on the engine block should have two wires. On the BX clocks there is an extra module on the back with a three pin connector for the oil level. One pin connect to 12V, the other two connect to the sensor on the engine.
