Oil Temp Sender

Recommended Posts

Livelee

I've just collected my xu10 sump and it has the temp sender in place. The sender from my xu9 has a single wire attached to it. The new sender has a plug style connector with 2 terminals. Can I just attach my wire to 1 / both of them and will it work? I'm using an aftermarket gauge.

 

Many Thanks

 

Dan

yes, just connect a single wire to one of the pins and it will behave like an XU9 sender.

It kinda works that way on mine 2.3 16v engine.

But pressure reads on the low side, so I guess the senders aren't operating with the same resistance range.

You could swap the sender for the XU9 one of the right thread as they were made in two thread sizes & the later ones (14mm) are the same size as the XU10's afaik.

i need to buy one of these for my s16 engine as it was missing

what age/make/ model had the earlier/later ones on as the 8v one i have out of an 1991 1.9 gti appears to be a 14mm thread and this seems to be too big for the s16 sump

plus des anyone know of a place other than pug that sell these

It'll probably be a 16mm earlier one.

 

I think the new 14mm ones were only found on the late gtis - after 93. I phoned up peugeot to get a price on a later type 14mm one and its about 15 quid inc vat (part number 0242 81 i think but check before ordering).

 

I also asked out of interest how much the GTI6 one is and he came back with a price of £70 !!! :) bargin... :)

1991 will normally have a 16mm thread sender unit, according to the parts cd the 14mm senders were fitted after 09/1993. (item #15).

 

Part number is 0242 81.

Sorry to bump my old thread but my sender and or existing 3rd party gauge has given up. I'm just going to buy a new gauge and sender. Is the hole in the XU10 GTi-6 sump 14mm?

 

Cheers
