    The car was 8v hey? if you using the 8v loom the blue wire in the bay that wouldhve gone to the side of the head has to be extended and put onto that switch you replaced. that should switch off your oil light

      That's how it's currently setup. I'm not sure why it hasn't switched off the light.

    Quick question does the 16v have a oil sensor on the head aswell or just on the oil filter housing

    • @lowdl
      @lowdl  Před 2 měsíci

      No, only on the filter housing. The blue sensor is apparnely for the head on a 8v. I tried my luck.

      Goeie Hoop Onderdele. I've heard that no one else has at the moment so I was happy to find stock there. I didn't check how much they've got but the salesman didn't make it seem as if they're running low.
