VDO Centre Console Oil/Voltage Gauges

[GlosterOx 0]

Hi,

 

Apologies firstly if this is in the wrong section, couldn't decide whether to post here or interior?

 

Have now got a set of the above and they have been fitted and wired in, voltage works fine. In a very old (Issue 21) Sprinter it mentions that if you want the MFA Oil Temp to still work that you need an additional extn banjo bolt (035 103 715) plus T-Piece Union (030 103 717) to fit on the filter housing.

 

Called the dealer and there are none in stock in the UK, so:

 

1) Is the above correct?

 

2) If yes, does anybody have them going spare?

 

3) Are there any alternatives I can use instead?

 

Thanks,

 

Ian.

Late VR isn't it Ian? You shouldn't need anything else to get it working other than a 10bar two pole sender which replaces the old oil pressure sensor, and a bit of wiring.

 

There's a guide in the wiki - http://wiki.the-corrado.net/gauge_pod_fitting_guide.html

As above, that's all I have.

A cheaper way would be to get a VDO sump plug temperature sender M14x1.5 thread.
