would ya not be better getting an oil filter relocation kit they have the holes for the sensors built in and makes changing the oil handy

 

[subzero]

ya just looking into that now .... its looking like 50ish sterling for just the adapter ..... ill go on the hunt now and see about the reloaction kit ...

would it be worth getting an oil cooler system ??

 

[sniffy]

** Jez - dont see the relocation kit ?? just the all in one cooler and rel .

 

[subzero]

went for the greddy relocation kit from perfect run ....handy and tasty looking bit of kit. weighed up the options for the cooler and just thought it was too much money with the real need.

Are you fitting the Link Display Unit with the Control Unit II?

If so then make sure you wire up the speed signal by tapping into the correct purple and white wire that goes to the ECU. If you don't then the Display Unit doesn't work properly - keeps going to movie mode cos it needs a speed reading to keep it showing the oil/water readings you want. Took me ages to work that one out??!!


I had fun trying to get the damn sensor wires past the firewall - don't know how other people found this. In the end, I used a good ol' wire coat hanger - modified of course to push through a very small opening in one corner of the driver side footwell which did the trick.

It's all fun I guess lol...

stop man , these defi's are the biggest pain in the ass..... no such thing as straight forward .

its ok i dont have the defi link display so thats 1 less worry . i just have 3 defis and the control II . im in the process of getting a visual display unit ( which i think is badass).
