What pressure sensors did you use? Sure its not a sensor issue? That or wiring.

Only using pressure switchs at the mo until i get the temp one rigged up,ive just been reading on another forum and its been said that the oil light can flash if the rev counter is not working,so to rule this out ,how do i get the rev counter to function as i believe (dont quote me on this) it takes  the engine speed signal from the coil,so what do i do as i dont have a coil anymore.  :undecided:

Ive been told that the tacho gets its signal from the abf ecu,how will i make it work with the agu ecu if this is the case?

I think you use a mk4 sensor. Im really not sure though tbh, because the box i got was Brads old box and was set yp for the conversion when i bought it. Was all plug and play
