SENSORS I FOUND ON MY 2002 172FF. WHAT THEY FOR ? ?



Been checking the fluid levels in the car today :)

And had a look around by dipstick and oil filter looking for any sensors i could tap into for my oil temperature and pressure gauges instead of buying a sandwich plate ;)

I found a few sensors and wandered if any one could confirm what there for.

I found one to the left beside dipstick .
Is for oil level display on computer ? ?

And another one to left of oil filter with a white plug.
Is this for oil pressure (i.e switch that switches on oil light on dash when pressure goes to high or low) ?

Cos if they are for what i think they are for can't i tap into oil level one with a t piece and use it for my oil temp gauge (thats if oil level sensor one hasn't got a probe on it to determine oil level)and do the same with the oil pressure one for my oil pressure gauge ?

Or even tap my oil and pressure gauges into the one sensor port ?

What do you guys think ?


And does anyone know what the tread sizes are on these sensors if i can use them ?

Could they be 1/4 NPT ?

The one with the green bit is the oil pressure sensor, not sure about the other one but your probably right, oil level sensor

take em out?
see what they are?,, do the one of the left first.. more then likely the oil pressure switch.

Top one just below and to the side of the oil filter is the oil level sensor - note how its at the same angle, and going in the same direction as the dipstick.

^^ I said that earlier! The one with the green bit 100% oil pressure sender because mine was leaking and I had to replace it. ;)

The one with the Green and brown wires is the oil level sensor, I used the one from a valver which has the level sensor and a temp sensor for the oil.
