Today i tryed to remove my blanking plug so i could fit my sender for my oil temp gauge but it was so tight i ended up rounding it so could any of you tell me if this will fit my sump.

Cheers.

Was your engine cold when you tried to undo the blanking plug?

 

[__B3NNY__]

Yup hadnt been driven for 2 days!

Does anybody know if the standard sump plug is a M14 Thread?

I've got a spare one in the garage give me a sec....

If your after fiiting an oil temp gauge why don't you find out where and how the cupra r takes its signal from and use that.... just a suggestion....
Also its a dam sight easier taking sump plug out while warm...

Lookin on ETOS it does look like a M14.


Liking that accessory tho, will plug straight into what i'll be getting.

i found where that connets but its part of a loom and id be a little unsure about what wires to connect up.

Im just hoping this plug from demon tweeks will fit, Would make life alot easier.

 

[Bogwoppit]

should make life alot easier, would it be wise to drain the whole system or just try and get the plug in quick? obiously when the car is cold?

Cheers again

lol good luck trying to get the plug in quick....... you just know its gonna end up with oil everywhere......

 

[claudefrog]

[__B3NNY__]

Yeh i think ill just drain the system, save alot of mess money and time lol

Craig! machined his own up and think his is still doing ok to this day.

I havent got much choice as my blanking plug is fooked.

 

[PhilW]

Why wouldnt you use one?

 

[Bogwoppit]

I would fit some kind of sheath and heatshrink to the end of the wire that fastens to your new sump plug.
One good thing though is when you do an oil change with the new sump plug, the plug will just dangle on the wire instead of dropping in the old oil.

Yeh i will be just gunna leave the metel hoop visable to connect to the sender, would it be recommended to cover the sender from water etc....?


I just placed my order and to be honest its abit of a joke it came to £19.99 all in which i thought was abit steep, but it should have got me out the shite so happy days.
