Chris W Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I've searched the archives but can't find an answer as to where (or if indeed it's possible) to fit the sender for an electric oil temperature gauge. Does anyone know? engine is new EU3 1.8K 140hp thanks Chris 1.8K SV 140hp V11CPW Ruby Red with Silver nose and stripe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Locust Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Anti-cav tank has one as a plug whether you want it or not! Just add wires.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 I just have the standard engine - no anti cav tank unfortunately. rgds Chris 1.8K SV 140hp V11CPW Ruby Red with Silver nose and stripe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence_Z Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 You may be able to fit the sensor in the spare, plugged off tapping in the oil filter housing, just under the alternator. Lawrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 Hope this isn't a daft question, but would I have to drain the oil level down first before using that tapping or is it above the level in the sump? 1.8K SV 140hp V11CPW Ruby Red with Silver nose and stripe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Locust Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Wouldn't like to say as the sump is mighty shallow and the running the engine to check the oil thing means it's probably quite close when it's all drained down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence_Z Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Yeah! oil pours out of there.... It may be enough just to put the front of the car on ramps then try it Lawrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
