I think I have a brand new oil temp sensor kit unopened in the garage from when I fitted my gauges - bought from scoobyworld - if it's of use u can have?

that would be a great help... are they a universal kit??

PM'd mate... :ok:

I thought that had gone Ryan

:whistle:

I better actually check to see if it is in the garage then :paranoid:

Munk - I did say I would check in garage ton in PM - I may be speaking out of term and might not have one after all pmsl! (brain like a goldfish me!)

I will investigate and report my findings! pmsl..

Apologies for the confusion all round :ok:

No worries bud.. have done my research and been in contact with hks europe.. who have now said they are selling off old stock and dont sell new anymore.. and aparently universal kits wont fit these gauges??so may have to buy a new set of gauges.. anyone recomend a good set and where to buy from??

Have you not tried to join the wire back together as was working ok before I sold it to Tim???

Are the wires coming out of the sensor still attached and going through the bulkhead into the car???

Oh ok buddy - no worries :ok:

Defi's if you cant fix these .

Sender should be connected to a braided pipe that will probably exit under the inlet manifold on the left hand side or alternatively to a sandwich plate between the engine and oil filter. If the sender is there then hopefully it's just a case of reconnecting the sender to the gauge and supplying some power. It could be the gauge was playing up hence it being disconnected so worth trawling ebay for a replacement as they are nice gauges.

the only wire left in the gauge is for bulb mate, the capilary type wire/pipe has been cut a few inchs behind the gauge and nothing else visible into the car...god nows why it would have been cut??

i keep hearing about these..what so good about them?? excuse the total lack of knowledge on the whole gauge situation..if was tyres or exhausts maybe diffrent...but never had any extra gauges fitted before in any of my subarus.

ill check in the morning thanks alot.:doubleup:

Defi's are prob the most accurate for readings and are not cheap to buy , ive just bought a set of defi's that require 2 sensors but a few of the lads on here run defi guages better off speaking to them .
