oh man that plastic does my nut in something awful. modern cars are just made of junk.

yeah that will be oil fumes your smelling. its best to have an oil catch tank on end of pipe or vent it underneath car otherwise you might get oil mist getting up on to your windscreen or fumes coming in through the bulkhead. my breather just hangs down by the sump. keep it away from exhaust though.

yeah i'll try find away to get it down to the sump, what will happen if its near the exhaust??

i need help fitting the vdo gauges, where to i get the wiring, the t-piece and also the oil temp sensor???
ive got all the gauges just need to wire them up

[gazareth]

you could make a hole in base of kn filter and plumb it in to that. kinda like the original set up. or you could extend it down by the rear engine mount and fasten it somehow. you need to keep it away from exhaust or the oil fumes will be going on it and burning which wont smell to nice. it might be fine where it is now but if you get a whiff of oil fumes then you should try either of the above.

not to sure if the 1300 had an oil temp sender. what are the other 2 gauges?

Should be oil pressure & volt gauges

yeah they are the other 2 gauges, im even unsure on where the volt gauge wires up to.. my guess was the battery?
ive read through so many threads on this and it just seems confusing

[gazareth]

is it an oil pressure gauge with small pipe going to back? the gauges aren't a problem to wire in. its just the sensors you need to send info to gauges that's the biggest part of job. you got to get the temp and pressure sensors hooked up to the oil gallery somehow but to be honest im not sure if there is any take off other than the 1 for the oil light switch which you should retain. you may need to t piece them in.

Saw the wiring loom kit on eBay so I'm going to order that tonight, need help finding t piece and the sensor, then I've got everything??
Any links on t peace and sensor??? Or anyone on here selling?
It's for 1984 mk2 golf 1.3
