Hey all,

Has anyone installed an electronic Oil Pressure Gauge before? What is involved? My understanding is I 'simply' remove the old sender, located near the oil filter, and put in the new one.

Can anyone tell me the basic steps?

What size is the threa on the standard one?

I will write up a how to with photos when I manage to do it, if that is more incentive for you to help me.

Cheers

Chris

It is not that hard to remove the old one but...if you would like your old gauge to still work, and have the new one i would wait untill you get the oil kit. I dont like that the old stock gauge wont work(dash looks funny ) so if you could have them both working i would go that way.

just my 2c worth.

The way i would do it remove the oil presure swith (its a bitch to get to, got to go in from under the car and its below the oil filter, closer to the tranny.

Remove that, then screw in the oil pressure sender. Wire up and off you go.

Id leave the oil filter alone and all.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
