Where To Put Oil Temp Sender(ph 1 Gti6)

[shooter mcgavin 37]

last thing i need to get working and its the oil temp gauge.

 

i fitted a seprate gauge for this but not sure where on the sump the sender fits

 

 

there is a drain plug at the front of the sump can this be used?

 

have also noticed there is no low level light, any ideas how this gets hooked up?

 

cheers

on my vts lump when i fitted my aftermarket oil temp gauge i drilled and tapped a hole on the left side of sump. there is already a hole there for some reason just retap it all the way through

[shooter mcgavin 37]

am sure there is a hole with a plug already there,

 

dont fancy drilling anthing out i'am a bit of a loose cannon that way

[All Praise The GTI 3]

yeah so am i! but the hole standard sensor was in was way too big. aftermarket gauge came with an m10 thread sensor

[shooter mcgavin 37]

where is the standard sensor?

 

 

i've got a few different sized adapters that came with my gauge

front of the sump. blue plug i thinks

You remove that plug from the front of the sump and it screws in there

Remember having a similar issue too when swapping sumps as the Mi Oil Temp Sensor is a different thread from the Gti6 ones.

 

I'm sure the Gti6 threads are M14 X 1.25

On the front interesting. Just picked up a XU10 sump and was wondering what to do as only 1 plug on the back, was going to find a sensor to fit in there instead of the sump plug but front of the block will do heh. M14 does sound right, cant find the thread now but I bought a late 205 sensor a couple of weeks back which is apparently the same threads as these GTi6 ones but gives the right reading for a 205 dash, the 306 one will give far to low a reading
