Got a oil temp gauge in my car and nearly all wired up except for the sensor unit itself.

There appears to be a blanked off port next to the oil filter that would be ideal however it doesn't screw directly in.

Who knows what size adapter I need?

An ebay link to the required adapter would really help!

Would this fit/be a simple solution?

Or maybe this is what I need...?

yes im trying to sort mine .i actual have a spare oil filter casing and have removed the little bolt.to me thatsthe ideal place to have the temp sender ,but others may differ.the thread size im not sure but will check.looks like you could use a ford temp sensor poss

Just ordered myself that sandwich plate adapter. Looks to be the simplest solution and can't see why it wouldn't fit.

I have been wandering if I could use the blanked off hole near the filter for my gauges.

 

I heard that some of the sandwich plates dont have good seals and the Greddy plate is best. But its £70 from memory which is steap

I'll just have to hope mine seals well than as I didn't fork out £70 for it!

 

The thread on that blanked off hole is a very coarse thread compared to a typical temp sensor s you will need some sort of adapter. That's what I was hoping someone on here would know where to find one.

I might just take a gamble and get one off ebay as well as like I say £70 is to much imo

 

Please say if yours does fit mate

Will do.

Sandwich adapter didn't fit! out of the two sizes it came with, one was too big, the other too small! Having a mini mnightmare with this!

 

There's must be someone out there that has fitted an oil temp sensor....

Now ordered yet another sandwich adapter but with 4 sizes to choose from this time...

i'm using an ebay cheap one ... no probs at all

How many thingy adapters came wth it?

The first one I bought had two (M18 and M20). One being too small and one being too big.

I have now just bought one with 4 different sizes (a 3/4 being one of them which is just over 19mm). I'm thinking that should fit...

think mine came with 4 main adapters to fit it and then about 4>5 small ones for different sensors

 

think it was this one

That'll be the one I just ordered! The first attempt was that one but with only 2 different sizes! Gutted!

WELL I MANAGED TO FIT MY OIL TEMP SENSOR oops for shouting ,theres a little grub screw to the right of where the oil filter bolts i managed to place my oil temp sensor there fits perfectly

I was going to use that but the threads (although very similar) are slightly different. You were jst lucky I guess. I didn't wanna risk forcing it in there and stripping the thread off.

i now what you mean but i used a ford temp sensor as it was the right thread size so no issues .

Will be getting one of these soon :thumbup: good find

Done!

Don't be a fool like me and buy the sandwich plate with the two adapters first. Neither will fit. 4 adapters FTW!
