Oil leave sensor

chris_bomber

Hi I have a vectra b
I'm want to fit an oil preacher gage.

Where would I find the oil leave switch?
I would like to the take it out and fit an adapter that will have the oil switch and pressure sensor in it.

Can any body help?

Ps sorry about the spelling

evocarlos

you would need to fit the pressure sensor in one of the oil ways and not the hole where the wires for the float switch are

chris_bomber

So where would be the best place to fit one?

Sorry in bit naive abut this so you may have to use small words..

evocarlos

there are plugs in the block that can be removed and then a sensor can be fitted to monitor oil pressure
you would need to get a brass adapter to convert the threads into something usable

Brill
That does raises a couple more questions for you nice folk.
Where abouts are the ( front, back, top, bottom or near some reference)
And
You wouldn't know what tread they were by any chance?

evocarlos

The 1s on the back of the block are m12x 1.75 I believe, @[deleted] has bought something perfect for the job but It was from the states I think.

That looks like is right under the exhaust manifold. Is that right.

Yes. I use it for my oilfeed line for the turbo.
