Oil Temp Gauge

[Daston]

Hi guys

 

Got an Apexi Oil Temp gauge in my car however it is not connected up so simple question where the hell does it go??

[Angarak]

What part of it isnt connected up?....the gauge end or the sensor end?

 

You have 2 options that I know of for the location of the sensor:

 

:: Sandwich plate between the engine block and oil filter.

:: Sump plug

 

With regards to the sump plug option, you'll probably need a 1/8"NPT Female to M12*1.25 Male, but best check to be sure.

 

I have one of the above on my car (95 JDM TT) and it cost £5.99 from LMA Group (Part No: LMA086).

I got my sandwich plate from:

 

I had to buy a deeper 26mm socket to tighten it up, again off ebay.
