Right people, I have an urgent request for a picture and info.

My car (Leon Cupra - 03) was in at the garage having some work and whilst it's in there I thought I'd get them to fit my boost & oil pressure gauges.

Trouble is the fella is having trouble finding or getting to the bolt where the pressure sender should go. He reckon's he'd have to take the inlet manifold off to get to it. I'm fairly sure no one else has had to do this so...

Can someone post up a picture of where the sender goes and a guide to how they got to it?

I need this tonight before 6pm!!! Help would be most appreciated.

Look at the oil filter housing, near where the dipstick goes in, there is a 5mm blanking plug (allen key head); remove this and put the sender in here. It will be a bugga to remove, penetrating oil helps :)

That is the one your mechanic is talking about you don't need to remove the inlet, but the pressure sender wont fit without an adaptor anyway as it is to fat and will hit the breather pipe behind, i had to buy an adaptor to raise the sender up and it only just fits then.
