RE: Oil pressure gauge fitting

["Iain Atkinson (ETL)" <iain.atkinson@etl.ericsson.se>]

Hi Tony,

This is most excellent, exactly what I need. Thanks a lot. I will go and
have a look at the scrapped car that the instruments came off for the sender
unit. Any advice as to where I find it on the block? Where are you
relocating the diff lock too?

Thanks again.

Iain

		Hi Iain,

		Its pretty easy, if you're lucky and have the correct
harness, the wiring
		may already be there.  You need a 035 919 561A oil pressure
sender that
		works with the 0-5 bar gauge.  You take out the high
pressure oil switch
		(1.8 bar, white cap) and put the sender in its place.  The
sender contains
		a high pressure switch so you just re-connect the wire to
the "WK" terminal
		on the sender.  If you see an unused wire, light blue
connector with blue
		white wire, you're really in luck because that is the wire
used for the oil
		pressure sender.  You connect this wire to the "G" terminal.
Inside this
		car, the BL/W wire is part of harness combined with the oil
temp wire which
		is green/black colored.  If you have the harness from the 3
gauge panel,
		just remove the current harness (which also has the radio
power and
		cigarette lighter power) and plug in the gauge harness and
everything
		should work.  You do have to move the diff lock switch of
course.  I'm in
		the process of doing this to my 4000 quattro (80q) and will
be using the 2
		way vacuum solenoid that's used for the A/C flap control.

		HTH,

		-Tony
