Oil temperature and pressure sensors thread
Hi,
I am planning to install an oil temperature sensor on the engine's block above cylinder number 3 and an oil pressure sensor with a Y adaptor on the location where the OEM low oil pressure sensor is located.
Both my sensors have a thread of 1/8" NPT.
Do I need to buy any adaptors?
The Y adaptor I have (in order to retain the OEM low pressure sensor) is this: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/pneum...d%22%3Atrue%7D
Many thanks!

I believe I need this, can someone confirm?
Reasoning: all Defi sensors are 1/8" PT and the Defi oil pressure sensor fits directly where the OEM low pressure switch is; my sensors are 1/8"NPT hence the need for the above adaptor.

The kit shown above is your answer.
I'm a bit mystified as to why the adaptor for the oil pressure gauge?
The Defi is a direct replacement gor the oil warning light sensor.
But why retain that? It's set far too low.
You can set a more suitable warning, both visible and audible, on the Defi.
Best place for the OE oil pressure switch is on a shelf in your garage.
But you do need the brass bush for the oil temp sender.
I'm glad you are putting that in it's correct location.

I agree no need for the oem pressure sensor, mine was done like this when I bought it.

If the OEM switch is removed the light won't come on in accessory mode as I understand.
The OEM oil pressure sensor is indeed useless otherwise.
Not sure if the hatchback has the same functionality, I don't drive the car often enough to remember! :O
