Inline Fuse for Oil Temp Gauge

[Funkyfin2000]

Hi Peeps,

Can anyone recommend me an inline fuse holder and fuse for the oil temp gauge i intend fitting to my Cupra?

I am fitting the Autometer boost and oil temp gauges....

What would anyone suggest?

Something like?

I didnt use a fuse. Just wired mine into the light switch. iirc no one has used a fused line.

so basically if you put it in the headlight switch, no inline fuse is needed...

u go oil temp and boost?

If that was to me? then yeh i had the oil temp and boost installed into a double nomad piller! Cant belive i was actully going to get a garage to fit them! its childs play! If your going oil temp mate id recommend using the drilled sump plug that demon tweeks have for sale about £20 well worth it tho saves alot of messing around trying to get the blanking plug out of the filter housing apprently gives a more accurate reading to! admitidly i did get abit of oil down the arm! lol.

Aye! indeed works a treat mines sitting in my sump as we speak with no leaks to report! Even tho tweeks rip the out of it for postage, Hell the hell can that plug cost around £9 to send , Would have found the link for you but im being a lazy arse today

 

[Funkyfin2000]

naa thats ok, interestnig, presume u just unplug the sensor to change the oil?

or leave enuff slack wire to get ur wrnech over to take the sump plug out to get to drain the oil?

Well theres two choices there really

I got oil pressure, oil temp and boost. All wired from the light switch.

Used that one you posted for my temp, but got it from somewhere else. Was originally for a pinto sump.

Then i got another adaptor made up for my oil pressure on top of the oil filter housing.
