Oil Pressure switch

[toonfiend]

Alright Folks, my new pressure gauge arrived today so will be fitting it at the weekend, cant find anything as to where the pressure switch is located (16V ABF). There are 3 sensors located on top of the oil filter housing I think it may be one of these but to know in advance will save a lot of fart arsing about.Also, will it be OK to splice directly into the wire from this to run the gauge? I dont fancy having to fit the sender unit its bloody massive! Cheers in advance TF

im running the standard gauges which came with a new pressure sender unit..i had to replace the blue one with the new one which had two terminals on it...it needs two as the original one does the mfa

Cheers for that, so in a nutshell, excusing my ignorance!!... The oil pressure switch is the front right sensor with the blue collar on top of the filter housing?, the original wiring that is attached to it works the MFA, so when the new gauge is wired up the original wiring has to go on with it?. The sender unit I got has only got 1 terminal, will it be OK to splice the wires together? should get the same result.....shouldnt it??? I`ll find out at the W/E and report back!, Cheers again TF.
