MFA oil temperature

can anyone help?

I noticed the oil temp sensor on top of the cooler/filter had no wire attached which is probably the reason for the MFA not showing the temp!

i can't see any wires in the engine bay so will need to run one, what i am looking for is info on what wire on the clocks needs to connect to the newly run wire?

Thanks in advance

I can't answer that question but I think I might know someone who can!

it depends on the age of the car, as it will either run thru the fusebox or on a fly lead haning off the dash loom. look closely at your wiring loom for a green/black wire, if it was a factory GTI this should be in there it may just have snapped off somewhere?

if not look at the wiring behind the fusebox for a yellow or green/black fly lead from the dash loom to the engine loom, it should be a male spade on the dash loom to a female spade on the engine loom. if its yellow then this is for the oil pressure switch, and the oil temp is going thru the fusebox. if green/black this is the oil temp wire
