    Default [VZ Executive] Centre Gauge Pod - Oil Pressure & Volt Install

    G'day guys, tomorrow i plan to install these speco gauges, i have a couple of questions as im no auto electrician. Firstly, with the oil pressure gauge, i cant remove the factory sender as it speaks with the ecu, so removing would be bad, so with a "T" piece, can i just hook the new sender into a section of the line ? or running 2 senders on the one line is bad ? any advice would be apreciated.



    Ill post the results of the install tomorrow.

    cheers.

    Well, the install went smooth, at first it took quite a bit of referencing as there was an adapter required to allow the new sender to sit inline with the original sender, however once i had worked out the adapter it was all systems go !! only took about an hour after the visit to Bursons !! The adapter goes into the engine block and due to where it is located there was limited room for spanner to spin, but after 10 mins of tedious play, it was done, turned the engine over and to my surprise, there were no leaks what so ever, i even took her for a spin, thinking maybe under load it may leak, however, all fine. All in all, fairly easy to accomplish and a nice edition to the interior.
