ok, so am going to wire up the vdo for oil pressure and temp

now i know i need a temp sender and a pressure sender... to match the guages... but where do i put them, i have uploaded some pics to help tell me where, as there seem to be 3 possible locations.

this is what i think is the original oil temp, but whats the other bigger one?



and what this??? oil temp again, its on the side of the engine?



so what are the green, yellow, blue ones?

and whre do i put my new temp sensor, and dual pressure sender thingy!!!

cheers people

sorry about size of pics!!!!!

i think the one on the side is oil pressure.. there are two.. one for high and one for low,

i am most probably wrong.

Do you have a haynes manual?

the oil temp works fine mate, its pressure you will need to sort as i didnt have the correct sender.

top pic:
big one with brown plug = coolant temp sensor for the 5th injector
small one = coolant temp sender for dash gauge
bottom pic = oil pressure sender, side o head is usually the 0.3bar low pressure warning switch

The high pressure switch is usually in the oil filter bracket, with a yellow wire.  Be aware that sometimes the wire colours are swapped though!
As for your pressure switch, you need to replace one of the 2 old pressure sensors with it.  Which one depends on the type of pressure sender you have, look on the side.  if it has 0.3barish tyhen its a replacement for the low pressure one, if it says 1.8bar ish its a replacement for the high pressure one.

For the temp one, you'll either have to remove the old MFA oil temp sender if you don't mind loosing the MFA display or use a oil sensor T piece with an M10x1 thread so you can rub both together.  The MFA oil temp sender is usually in the oil filter housing, with a black/green wire.

so basically the person he needs to consult before the search function is you!
