It is close, mines probably about 2-3 inches back from the sump plug (sensor points at drivers wing parallel with the floor).

mine would be directly under sump inless i mounted it before sump as it goes down to go under the sump as ideally i need it before a flange joining section ?? where would be best so yours is horozontal from pipe pointing towards wing karlos
just want to make sure mine is mounted right

Hey Bram, hows the car going mate? you won't have a problem with readings etc, but your sensor will have a shorter life.

Martin, you can literally mount the sensor where ever you like, mine is before the sump, pointing at around 11 o'clock IIRC, I may be going to the garage this weekend so if I do I'll grap a few snaps for you
