Hi All,
Following the guide that's already on here (http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=365880&highlight=oil+temp+sender), I had a go at installing my Auto Gauge oil temp sender this afternoon.
Unfortunately, it turns out the sender provided by AutoGauge is slightly too long and although it screws in - it doesnt sit snugly as it should and leaks oil (I tried with the engine on for a few seconds and it started trickling).
I tried with a small washer, with 2 washers and without. The sender is annoying 2-3 mm too long and actually can't screw down any further as it is touching the inside of the oil filter housing. I've provided a few pics in case they help.
Has anyone else had this problem before?
Can anyone recommend an oil temp sensor that is shorter or one that has worked with no problems?
