Fitting additional oil temp sensor for VDOs

[Ad2408 0]

Hi

 

Where and what do I need to fit an additional oil temperature sender for the Audi VDO gauges i'm fitting?

 

I'm got the twin pole sender for the pressure but am stumped on the temp.

 

I thought of using a t-piece but 'Big-boyz-toys' are sold out as are think automotive. Any other ideas where I could get one?

 

Thanks

You can get sump plugs with a thread tapped in them for a sensor, I can't remember where i saw them though sorry.

Yeah, thought about that too but don't fancy unscrewing a sender evertime I change the oil!

 

Thanks for the replys by the way. Any other ideas?

You wouldn't have to. Just take the wire off it. Drill the sump plug and thread it to take the sender in the middle.

 

Are there any blanks in the top of your oil filter housing? You could get a sender from any GTI and wack it in there and run a wire into the cabin. Other solution use teh std oil temp sender and don't have the MFA read out working.
