Hi, I want to setup an oil temperature gauge for my pug as the stock one isn't that accurate. I heard that the sump plug is either 14 x 1.50 or 14 x 1.25. The website that I ordered the gauge from had some adapters but only in 14x 1.50 so thats the one that I ordered. I called up pug and they said it was 14 x 1.25 so where can I get that sized adapter from? Thanks.

been on there also, surely somone must make them? at worst could buy the M14x1.50 and get a M14x1.25 dye to change the thread. ________________________________________ 230 hp 2.1 16v XU 205 rallye on jenveys Project thread here309 3dr K20 Type R |

I wouldn't put it in the sump plug, just remove the stock sender.IMO there's no need though, they are accurate enough to give an indication that something is awry, you never need to be that precise with temps. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

when i used one, i used a durite oil temp gauge which had a 1/8" nptf sender so needed a 14x1.25 adaptor from demon-tweeks, change 'sender thread' to 1/8 npt and 'male thread' to m14x1.25________________________________________ 306 rallye, Richard Longman enginerc10gt |

Going to order one now, thanks for the link. Edit; is there any particular reason to go for short or long? |

I bought the Demon Tweeks one and it does still go in, just takes a bit of grunt Don't bust your sump though. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Hi owain. Did you get the long one or the short one? And why was there a problem with getting it to go into the sump thread? It is 14 x 1.25, that is the right thread so it should fit in easily :s |

No idea why it was tight but it was, and it leaks unless you get it all the way in. I got This one, M14 and 1/8NPT. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

The washer should stop any leaks you get, perhaps it was not seated correctly? rallyeash wrote: i ordered the short one Is that the same length as the pug one? |

Just found out the source of the confusion:http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Motorsport/Gauges_Instrumentation/Gauge_Pipes_Adaptors/LMA_Oil_Temperature_Sump_Plug_Adaptor/1773/1844 http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Performance/Gauges_Dial_Kits/Fittings_Accessories/LMA_Gauge_Sender_Unit_Adaptors/812/1847 There two different sodding pages! No wonder I couldn't find the M14 x 1.25 sensor the first time round! Wonder what that is all about :S |
