hey guys people are telling me to install on the outlet pipe i was wondering if some1 can show me a pic so i know exact what im looking at and also what diameter is that pipe
cheers if any1 can help

Not too sure what you mean, if its what I think you mean its probably a temp gauge sensor? As for outlet pipe maybe they mean your water pump?

Series 1 VN is will be at the back of the motor, series 2 will be at the front (at the other end of the radiator hoses).

Still dont know if thats what you mean but I hope this helps.

ok you can buy water temp gauges and i want to put 1 on my vp 1992 i have been told to put it on the outlet pipe so its regestering the hot water coming out instead of the cooler water from the radiator goin in. i pressume buy water its coolant but i wasnt sure any ideas

any chance of a pic mate

[delcowizzid]

nah never took any its easy to find its brass with one wire going to it at the back of the inlet manifold under the elbow

[sawychri06]

any chance you can find me a pic of that i dont know what im looking for sorry mate

[delcowizzid]

oh you have a vp its on the front under the alternator hard to miss once the alternator is off vn is at the back

what about this i thought this is what the water temp gauge should connect to

[delcowizzid]

doesnt give you a true reading of the temp

ok i have noticed that you have helped others on kinda the same prob. i am lookin at after market sensor btw. also if i install as the pic above do you think i could do it without draining coolent

[delcowizzid]

youll only loose a small amount just top it up with extra water.

so if i was to connect as of the pic above it would give me a general reading, but not accurate, btw what diameter is the pipe (top pipe vp comm). and if you have any other tips feel free to tell
