I know ppl have spoken bout this befor but the msg was bit confusing where the dude mentioned the steps and process involved in the installation of a oil pressure gauge... I wanna know how it's done,if someone can guide me from start to finish hav a decent mechanical back round and know my way around the motor pretty well. From what i gathered from the topic befor was that you put the sensor @ the bottom of the sump,do i drill???And if so would that cause any other problem in my sump ie leaking oil,wrong oil pressure reading??? Just another thing is a digital oil pressure gauge worth the xtra bucks or should i just stick to the usual mechanical ones,and what tools wil i need to do this thing 125% and have no problems with it after i'm done... Thanks guys really apreciate your replys |

You've got the analog gauges which are mechanical or electrical then the digital meters... Digital if you want to look different, Analog if you want to go with the classic

![]() Hi mate OIL TEMP GAUGE if your gauge has a bulb you will have 5 cables coming out the back of the gauge, 2 for the bulb + and - which i recommend running through a switch before connecting to the dash bulbs as some gauges can be very glareing while driving long journeys, 2 cables for your gauge power supply + and - connect the neg to the nearest earth point on the car and the positive to your ignition 1 sensor cable * route the sensor cable through an available grommet to the engine ensuring it is well clear of any hot areas of the engine, obtain a sandwitch adapter which acts like a double adapter in the house, it basicly a large washer with holes in the sides, of it, the holes in the sides will have little screw caps in them, remove the cap and screw in your sensor, weather it be pressiure or tempature, also before screwing in wrap a layer of seal tape around the sensor threads to help prevent leaks, you remove your oil filter screw the filter on to the sandwitch adapter and the sandwitch adapter screws in to the oil filter hole, the sensor will have 2 cables an earth and a feed connect the earth to the nearest earthing point and the feed to the cable you have routed to the engine area then turn on the egnition and your sorted. if you would like any more info PM me happy to help any1 Thanks for reading Kind Regards lenny leonard.woods@live.ie |
