Oil Temperature Sensor

[iwallers 10]

Hi,

 

I need a oil temperature sensor for my 1.9 phase 1.5 gti.

 

It's the one with a thread and 7mm nut.

 

Any one with advice on quality and make would be very helpful, don't want to buy twice

i used this one. seems to fit nicely.

The part number is FAE 30280

There are two different threads, m16 and m14, so you need to know which you need prior to buying the ones above.

Tin sumps all M16, alloy sump can be M16 or M14 is my experience?

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

If you bought a new sump from Pug now, the 0242 50 doesn't fit, you use the later sender.

Do I have to remove to check the thread?

 

Farmer sounds ok,

[Anthony 1,003]

Assuming that there's no evidence of the sump having been replaced, I would be confident in saying that it'll be the earlier M16 thread.

 

Obviously to be 100% sure you'll need to remove it and check, but I've never yet seen a steel sump with the temperature sender on the rear which is the later M14 size.

 

The later baffled steel sumps as found on non-AC 2.0 litre models are M14, but they have the sender on the front and thus are easily identifiable from the usual 205/309 sumps.

It's definitely steel sump and rear, farmer is yours m16?

 

Thanks Anthony

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

Yes M16.

 

Have a used and new one.

 

Can't guarantee used works, been many years off the car.

[iwallers 10]

any way of testing used without fitting to car?

[Anthony 1,003]

They rarely fail in my experience, normally get the stud damaged from undoing it or when the engine is removed from the car.

 

You should be able to roughly test it out of the car by measuring resistance between the stud and the thread where it screws into the sump at ambient temperature, and then sticking it in a pan of boiling water and checking that the resistance has significantly dropped (being careful not to burn yourself, obviously!)

Mine doesn't register on gauge, when checked the sensor as advised via, earthing out the gauge goes to max as described

 

I believe it most sensor

 

Thanks everyone

I can send you both, try the used one and if okay send new one back.

 

Am sure used one be fine anyway.
