  Nope, in my case I'm sure it is the part at the engine, the "top half" =

really think it's amazing it gave any reading at all (the threaded brass =

is hollow BTW, and contains a little spring, and I am so glad it came out=

how it got sheared, I know I didn't do it. But the fact that it was in 2 =
pcs,
and pouring out oil, I'm pretty sure this time. =


Now for Julie, it may well be elsewhere. And I didn't have a flashing oil=

light either.

I have an MFA display and the oil light is flashing all the time. I have
pressure (Got a pressure meter) and would like this thing off.

Where is the oil temp picked up? what color wire is this?

A temp sensor is on the side of the head, is this the H2O temp sensor?

One of the wires to the MFA is a speed sensor (white wire) How does this
pick up the speed and from where?

Interior fan wires are different MKI & MKII. That is todays goal as well.=


Its almost ready for WF2K2! I can't wait for the drive!

Julie, the oil temp sensor is on the back of the head, fairly near to, an=

NOPE! The wire is green with a black stripe.

In my case, you just needed to look for the oil pouring out. If it is gon=

168C

But what really concerns me is this parallel failure of ours, keep that c=
