russ78 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) that type are crap buddy have been known to snap off in the block !!! use the remote type like this far safer http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121385761453?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Edited January 4, 2015 by russ78 Quote
Arnold Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Any photos of how this is fitted? I think I need one too Quote
Turbo Goose Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Literally take the old sender out, fit the remote braided line in there with the adaptor on the end for 2 senders. Screw the old sender and new sender into the adaptor. Done!And obvs wire in new oil pressure gauge to the new sender.Make sure the male end that screws into the block is 1/8 BSPT thread and the adaptor has 1 female 1/8 BSPT thread and 1 female 1/8 NPT thread Edited January 8, 2015 by Turbo Goose Quote

karl. Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Bit off topic, but any info on run ing a water temp sensor without the rad hose sender?One of the thermostat housings have a spare space, I think it's ep91. I have seen people adding a water temp sender in there Quote

I'm not sure exactly where the old sender is. I've seen people fit sensors into a sandwich plate by the oil filter, which is why I wasn't so sure how this fits on. Cheers Quote
TimD Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) It's on the front of the block just behind the down-pipe, the sender is massive you can't miss it. It's the one pointing upwards, I have the remote T-Piece someone linked above, but had to replace the BSPT adapter from memory as it wasn't tapered enough. Edited January 9, 2015 by TimD Quote
Ollieh17 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Is there a benefit to running this over a sandwich plate? Quote
russ78 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Is there a benefit to running this over a sandwich plate?no shaving of power steering bracket needed and a lot less chance of any leaks other than that not really Quote
