Oil pressure sender extender by stewardc on 23 Aug, 2006 10:40

I've installed an oil pressure gauge in my Caddy but the much larger sender will not install because of the turbo oil feedline. Does anyone have an extender that would move the sender beyond the oil feedline that they'd like to part with?

Hmmm... What about something like this? It says it's for Type 4 aircooleds, but I believe the threads are the same.

Back when I was looking to run two senders, I found this one as well:

That one might not clear the oil line in your engine...
Also, there's another company that sells a similar kit for watercooled VW's, allowing them to run several gauge senders. Edit: I think this is it:

or a complete listing here at the bottom of the page:

Maybe something there will help... -

I used an Audi 5000 turbo diesel part on my 1.6 (now 1.9)
p/n 035 103 717 and 035 103 715
The picture shows an oil temp sender and a pressure switch, I now have a pressure switch and a pressure sender for a 10 bar guage installed in it.

Nice move... I think the early Coupe GT's (80-84) and some of the early 4000's had that fitting as well. Driver's side of the block...
