Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

I have one in my sump (had new engine fitted recently) all though I have yet to connect it to a suitable guage.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

First off you need a sender unit in the sump, some cars have this as standard. I have one in my sump (had new engine fitted recently) all though I have yet to connect it to a suitable guage. Its probably best to find a late model sump and fit to your engine, in theory you can tap a new hole for the sensor but you could destroy a perfectly good sump in the process. After that connecting sender unit to guage should be straight forward (depends on your level of electrical know how realy).

POST 2Original post

Best best is to look at the digital spa dials - will fit in the hole where you oil pressure guage currently is, and give you digital readouts of both temp and pressure for oil. You can also set alarms on them for upper and lower parameters. Edited to say will fit in the hole on early dash style 944's not sure about later ones >> Edited by dontlift on Friday 28th March 22:08

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am thinking of fitting an oil temp gauge - the only important thing they forgot when the dash was designed. Has anybody done it yet ? If so how did you proceed ? Thanks in advance for the replies/comments.
