Oil Pressure Sender

Hi Guys.

I currently have the low oil pressure sender on the car and want to put a high oil pressure sender in as well, just the same as the previously setup VR6.

I am running a 1.8T BAM and was wondering where would the current sender be located, e.g. oil filter housing??? (I did not install the BAM)

What colour wiring would the low pressure sender be and what would the high oil pressure sender wiring be in a MK3 Golf VR6?

Not sure on part numbers but I am TPS will have it?

Thanks.

 

Cheers for replying. I installed the mfa oil temp sender in the blanking plug in April, I think you mentioned how to do that lol.

I will get an oil sender T-piece and high oil pressure sender but what colours do I need to look for in the loom as I would like to have this on the dash. Currently low oil pressure is wired in.

Thanks again.

 

cheers again. So all I need to do is buy a high oil pressure sender, would you know the part number?

 

Cheers bud, bought from TPS

 

umm....the part number from TPS is 068 919 081 D, 1.4 bar = M10 x 1, looking at the number rubjonny has put up this looks like a 1.8 bar?

So the mfa oil temp sender is 1/8 NPT x 1 as well does this mean I can put the sender on a t-piece with the mfa oil temp sender or I am best putting it with the low pressure temp sender which is M10 x 1?

 

You are best to put the two pressure switches together.
The oil temp sender really ought to be immersed in flowing oil hence leave it on it's own in the port where you've fitted it.

The reason for using two pressure switches is to fool the dynamic oil pressure monitoring system in your clocks/cluster, into being "happy".
The one pressure switch is monitored below 2000 rpm, and the other above this value.
Fitting both switches in the same place rather than at the pump and one in the side of the head kinda defeats the object to some extent.

You might be better off fitting an electronic pressure gauge for accurate pressure monitoring? (this is what i'm gonna do)

 

Good point on the location of the pressure switches. I looked into a electronic pressure gauge from Stack but.....I am keen to use the inbuilt system on the dash via the MFA.

I must admit I am looking at other various electronic gauges including boost gauges etc...

 

Yes, the cluster will just need to get a closed signal - you might be able to run the two inputs off of one pressure switch (I need to look into this myself).
The gauge will give a better idea of what your oil pressure is doing, and provided you interpret it properly, will be all the information you need.

 

Interesting, could you let me know what you find please?

 

lol will do Jonny, I'll give them a kick up the ****.

I tried using the power of google to find the G60 t-piece but no look, someone recommended contacting vw heritage, so I will give that a go.

 

Ouch my pockets are not that deep lol. At that cost I might as well look at the stack electronic oil pressure gauge.

 

Will do, I wil see what demon tweaks have on the t-piece front. I will look out for the sump plug adaptors as I am about to change the oil.

I found the above that looks like it will do the job, I thought put the high oil pressure sender in the side port and low oil pressure sender in the end. This would fit in the side of the oil filter housing, what do you think?

 

I also looked into electronic gauges but whats the point, if the low pressure sender is 0.3bar and the high pressure sender is 1.8bar.

If i bought the stack electronic oil pressure gauge the gauge starts at 0 bar and goes up to 7 bar. Does not seem like a good investment.
