valver oil pressure guage not working

[dan-hipgrave]

After taking the engine and gearbox out my 1.8 16v last weekend, since putting it back in the oil pressure guage doesnt read anything at all (engine is running fine lol) so obviously theres a wiring fault - where do the wires for that guage run to?? (It was temperamental before removing the engine though...)

Cheers, Dan

front of the block near the dipstick (to the right hand side as you look at it, the oil temp and pressure are on the same senders on the clio

Oil pressure sender is on the back of the engine on the cambelt side, purple wire goes to it. The connection can play up and be loose, the wire can also melt on the downpipe is no heatshield and its routed wrong.

The sender itsdelf can clog with crappy old oil.

The sender on the front is for the level and temp.
