I am looking for instructions how to fit a oil pressure sender unit and gauge.

Any info and pictures handy thanks

 

Is it oil pressure or oil temp you are fitting? And how are you wanting to fit them - sandwhich plate or 'proper' adapters?

 

Pressure via proper adaptors, been reading up the number 3 port but aint seen any pictures to show it. I know i got to get the braided line kit for the sender. The other way is the orginal pressure switch with the adaptor?? i think? lol

 

Get the oil pressure fitting kit from Tim at Scoobyparts

Cylinder 3 blanking plate is for temp sensor....

Remove the alternator and you'll see the OE pressure sender in the block. Remove it, plug in the adapter and then put the OE pressure sender into the end of the adapter block and the gauge sender into the side of it (with a little bit of PTFE tape if required). Do not over-tighten, hand tight then a half turn is enough.

Run the sender wire through a gromet into the cabin (one above the downpipe is common) and then connect to the gauge

 

thank you.

 

No worries, some pics here:

Some gauge senders will fit IN PLACE OF the OE switch, which is useless, being set at around 1 bar, so when it lights up your engine is dead

Are you doing an oil TEMPERATURE gauge too? VERY useful. Shows how the engine isn't up to temperature for hard use for quite a time after the water temperature gauge says it is.
