I am going to install an oil pressure gauge over the winter. What is the thread size for the sender unit (1/8 NPT or 10x1)?
Will these work with the 0-80psi VDO gauge? 1/8NPT sender 10x1 sender |

I think the usual installation is to use the extension hose and mount the dual sender remotely. This is because the sender body is larger than the hole in the tin for the oil pressure sender. You could file out the hole but I'd rather not modify tin when the hose is relatively easy. That said, the hose is not metric thread while the case is. Someone will answer here that the threads are the same but I'd rather not mess up my case with non-metric threads. Also, when I installed the hose in my white 1.8 car, it leaked alot, so much that it messed up the windshield of the car behind me. Probably installation error but I removed it to work on later.
