Suggestion

There are a couple of similar hex nuts on my car, but I'm unsure if running temp from there is worthwhile.

Since I'm adding an additional gauge in the place of the Chrono, I want to use another sensor to measure the temp.

Suggestion

I had previously used the location by #1 cylinder but the fan there would influence the reading because of the high air flow and how far the sensor stood out in the air flow.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

Hi guys, I've been spending some time looking for a suitable point on the engine so I can install an oil temp sender for a supplementary gauge in the cabin. Does anyone know of or suggest a suitable location? Thanks in advance.

POST 3Original post

Thanks for the video above, I had already seen that. I should have mentioned that my car is a 987.2 and so the heads are different. There are a couple of similar hex nuts on my car, but I'm unsure if running temp from there is worthwhile.

POST 4Original post

Another idea...put a cluster instrument of 997 in your 987.2

POST 5Original post

Or you could pull the information from the canbus directly. Save yourself a lot of work and potentially an oil leak. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POST 6Original post

I hear my cooling fan on the passenger side blowing after shut down, maybe an oil port somewhere around that fan switch for a 987.1 ?

POST 7Original post

I have 2 sensors - one in the plug by the #6 cylinder area ( 987.1 ) which you may not have depending on your engine. The second is plugged into a oil filter sender adapter and a spin on oil filter. This basically gives you sump temp. This will heat faster than the other sensor but eventually they agree. Since the #6 location always lags, I wait until that one is hot before exercising my right foot. I had previously used the location by #1 cylinder but the fan there would influence the reading because of the high air flow and how far the sensor stood out in the air flow.

POST 8Original post

On MA engine( Porsche 987.2 ) here is the sensor(oil pressure and température) located Near the Throttle Body

POST 9Original post

dougle turbo, I'm wanting to same mod. Did you ever find where to put the sensor. I've got a9A1 engine. I am too chicken to mess with the canbus Thanks, Bruce

POST 10Original post

I use the sensor bosch already installed on MA120 MA121 engine.

POST 11Original post

Thanks Fasav. I believe you put a 997 cluster in your car. Assuming you were able to get the signal off the canbus. Since I'm adding an additional gauge in the place of the Chrono, I want to use another sensor to measure the temp. I could install a spin on filter adapter, but I would rather not. Still looking for another option for a separate sensor on the engine with out tapping the canbus.
