It was in relation on how to connect an electric oil pressure gauge. Can someone direct me to it if you come accross it please. ThanxNesh←Not sure I understand. Black is - and blue is + for cig lighter (on 12v accessories loom). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you need a t piece, VDO 230.032 (it hink.. 1/4npt with 1/8 npt for oil presure). allows you to run both sensors..270 degree sweep on oil would be good... I was also thinkin about geting pyro temp.. or airfuel.. but a/f is pointless as its not widebandDanny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I give the part number to lets say autobarn or supercheap or whoever can they get that for me?ThanxNesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sender is hidden under the bonnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTSBGY Member 259 Member For: 18y 11m 25d Posted 25/07/06 12:06 PM Share Posted 25/07/06 12:06 PM Can you remove the oil pressure switch without draining the oil? Will much oil come out? Also is there only 1 size of cobalt gauges? Whats the size for the FPV pod, is it the 2 1/16 size gauges?ThanxNesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
