kilokilla 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 are you trying to put a seperate vdo oil gauge in car if so you need a t-piece so you can connect new sensor and still keep old sensor aswell then you remove either of tth two sensors screw in t-piece screw old sensor you removed into t-piece then screw new 5bar sensor into other side of t-piece reason being that otherwise your oil light will keep coming on.

kilokilla 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 right i cant say for sure but i have a 2.0 16v engine that has 1 fitted and that has replaced the darker of the 2 sensors so i would go with the blue 1 however if its wrong it wont hurt your engine it will just bring oil light on at which point you will know its the other sensor it will not affect the actual oil pressure so you wont harm engine.
