Name the sensors? (oil filter housing)

The picture shows the oil filter housing on my 2.0 6a engine.

Im wondering which connector to stick the wire on that came off the mk1 housing.

My first guess would be the orange/brown one because it looks the same colour as the mk1 one.

If that is so, any idea what the other ones are for, just for reference :)

If original parts they will have the temp or pressure range stamped on one of the flats of the metal part?

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

yes you have 3 oil pressure sensors there, the white ones are 1.8 bar, black one could be 1.4bar. you cant go by colour if they're aftermarket though so check the markings!

for a mk1 you need a 1.8 bar white and a 0.3 bar brown/blue, the 3rd sensor isnt needed. the mfa oil temp is a small white one in the back of the head, you can move it to the filter housing if that helps you, basically it depending on your wire routing where is best.
