Default oil pressure sensor fitting (3 door) ????

I've got to fit the oil pressure sensor for my defis.

do you need an adaptor or can you just screw it straight in?

in fact come to think of it where is the existing switch?

You can just screw it in but you will lose the dashboard oil light.So best to get an adaptor for it.It located under the inlet manifold at the back next to the dipstick.The oil feed for the turbo is also located here so look out for the braided pipe.

The deffi sender is a smaller thread than the oil light switch so you will need an adaptor anyway! Speak to Mike R as he can supply them

My defi sender is screwed in to a T-piece, which keeps the original oil light.

SCC should have em in stock.
