1.6 Zetec SE - Block Oil Pressure Holes
Mal - 26/4/10 at 03:55 PM

I want to know if the 1.6 Zetec SE Engine (the all aluminium one) has more than one tapped hole in the block, or head, to take a second oil pressure connection.
I want to fit a VDO sender into one hole and the low oil lpressure light into the possible second one.
There is a second tapping on my Zetec E silvertop engine where I have done this.
The normal way round this requirement is use a t-piece, but there is not much room behind the standard plastic inlet manifold on the SE engine.

The best option is a VDO sender with 2 electrical connections on it. Since I already have a single connection sender I don't want to spend £45 on another one.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Mal

They use a braided hose and mount a t on the end of that.
It protects the senders from vibration and gets round the space restrictions
