I have a 1.7 and bought an oil temp sensor and I am wondering the best place to put it. I don't think I have a stock one but I am not sure exactly where it would be if I did. If I don't have one where is the best place to put the new sensor?

I use the drain plug sender as well. It replaces the oil drain plug.
Some say it reads 10-20 degrees cooler as your driving, due to it being in the breeze. Works good enough for me though. You need to match your sender with the gauge. Search your gauge part number. I used a 150C VDO sender for my combo gauge temp. I could have used a 200C sender but the gauge will read differently. There is alot of info around here on the subject. I got mine from North Hollywood Speedometer. Sorry, I don't have the part number on me. I think it was a 14mm thread size. Not the same as the Type 1 size. I have a 1.8L. Good Luck. EDIT: Just got home and checked my receipts. Part number for my drain plug sender is 323-092. It's a 150C VDO sender. NoHoSpeedometer sold it to me for $21.20 plus $2.06 tax. Works with this gauge rather well  |
