Oil temp gauge type 4 engine

You won't sort it for cheaper than that either!

 

Thanks for the link, I knew i'd seen them on the samba but couldn't for the lig=fe of me remember what i was searching for when i saw them, he also does some other quite funky stuff, like the deep ish sump

 

Is it just a case of swapping over the "taco" plate, fitting the temp sender and wiring it in?

 

yes basically.

If you buy the stack one (which is really nice by the way) you get everything though you will need to cut the loom you get with it and extend it as the run from dash to engine on a bus is a long one.

This is the one I used

I've already got a gauge running from a dipstick sender but it looks naff!

 

I did what?


Must have been my invisible evil twin.

 

..and what do you recon about these?

I've just bought one.
Will let you know.

 

Yes very interested how you get on with this, as it is on my list but a bit further down at the mo.

 

Yup, me too and my venture into oil temperature is hopefully in the very near future.

One thing I do need to source is a 75/80 mm gauge as I want it to fit in the spare hole next to the speedo.

 

I fitted the CSP adapter to the pressure relief valve

 

Well it seems there are several ways to skin this particular cat. Does the relief valve still relieve if necessary?

 

I hope so; I fitted mine five years ago and the engine hasn’t burst yet.

 

Yes it does still work as normal, my oil pressure gauge confirms that. Plus CSP build quality stuff and i doubt they would risk the reputation of the company by blowing up our engines!!!! not good for business I would say
