Mystery Oil Temp/pressure Sender

[jippa]

hey guys. i have an issue with this mystery oil sender that is not connected. the sender is screwed in a bit back from the oil filter and its not connected. it has a spade end for a plug but have had a good look at all the looms near it and there are no spare plugs. i removed it to install my oil pressure sender in its place and to take a look, it seems to be oil temp. anyway the oil pressure sender was a different thread so i refitted the old sender but i want to know if anyone has one that is connected or is it aftermarket? its easy enough to see, just look at the oil filter and start to look back towards the engine and its a few cms back.. oh mines a s2

I have the same, I assumed it was for an oil pressure gauge that I assume comes on the s model, but am not sure??

seems weird they didnt just put a bolt in the hole.. i removed mine and it looked like an oil temp gauge

Mine is wired up and I am pretty sure it goes to the oil warning light in the dash, but mine is an S1.

I want to use this place to connect three senders but have to take the existing one out to check the thread.

Does anyone know what type of thread is used. Is it metric or BSP?

my rs four s has one . no idea what it is . only spotted it the other day . my guess is oil temp eg gti-r and gtr . what gauges does a 34 gtt have in it stock ? could always measure the resistance across it and see if it changes with engine revs of no change compare it when car is warm
