Oil Temp and Prssure Gauges

mattbeef · 02-10-2006, 11:36

Right im expexting my bonus at work any time soon and fancy splashing out on some guages. Been having a read and a look about what i actually need to do it and it seams that i need an oil pressure relocation kit so that the standard pressure light wont stay on all the time.

Is this all a load of pish because i cant be the only guy who wants these/installed these and yet no one mentions that they used the relocation kit. Im having a hard enough time finding VDO gauges that dont cost the earth.

Alternatively has anyone just taken it somewhere and let them worry about it

if so how much did it cost you if you dont mind me being so cheeky

I have fitted boost, oil temp and oil press' gauges to mine. Oil temp was taken from the 'spare' blank on the top of the filter housing and as yet i haven't connected the oil press one but was thinking of a tee piece where the oil light switch goes. let me know if you get anywhere and if i get mine connected in the meantime i'll let you know how.

thanks for that. Ive managed to source some vdo gauges from Ireland.
They come with an oil pressure relocation kit which you need as there is no room to tap the original place for two senders (according to the instructions i found)

PM me if you want the link as the kit is €50
