the 2 wires are pressure, and the other works the light on the dash. you'll need to sump plug whatsit for temp, or drill/tap the sump and fit it somewhere else | |

You had a digidash in the old nova, with the c16xe, so if the oil guage worked correctly on that then you have a 2wire sender. | |

Thanks Rob, Yeah ive got a single wire switch at the mo.... so all i need to get is a 2 wire on and i can run temp and pressure gauges? | |

iirc you can swap the oil pressure 'switch' for the 2 wire one from an astra gte or whatever, to run a pressure guage? thats how its done with digidash conversions | |

The one on the back of your block should have a blue/green and a blue/yellow wire, 2wires. | |

Theres one of those sensors on the back of the block under the inlet but when i removed it there was no oil coming out and the sensor didnt have a tiny hole in the end like normal pressure sensors. I plugged it back in and left it.... TBH im not sure what that ones for - it has a bright green wire with thin red line. | |

C16xe should have a oil pressure sensor( the type that runs a digidash) | |

What about getting an oil filter sandwich plate with the sensor holes in it or is it best to have the pressure sensor near the oil pump?? | |

oil temp: get a sump nut with a sender in it from deamon tweeks. | |

pretty sure the c16xe pressure sender is just a switch, not an actual sensor. | |

Wiring in my gauges today and i can only seem to find one sensor, which is the one on the back of the block with i think is the oil pressure sensor. |
