Xantia 1.8i oil temp gauge help

Unread post by Nick Orfanidis »

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to make the oil temp gauge to work, on a 1.8i petrol LFX engine? Is there a certain oil temp sensor that I need to buy ? Where I connect it? I've put the oil temp gauge , and now I need to find a proper way to make work...

so theoritically, if I connect an oil temp sensor , that has the correct bandwith , directly to the gauge (through the correct pins) will it work?
