i'am looking to fit a oil pressure and temp sender on to my oil filter housing using one of those adaptor jobs that screw in place of the normal sensor an allows you to lug the sensors in there

just woundering will i have to still use the BMW sensor or can i use the VDO one that came with my gauges as this has a dual out put, presualbly one for the gauge and one for the ECU/cluster, they were out of a Audi 80 sport :D

I know toby fitted them just wondered how :D

Didn't Toby add in a length of s-teel tube to the oil system and weld on the relevant bungs?

I'm pretty sure it shows pics in PPC, do you have a copy?

I could get you the pics if you like?

Fozz.
