Hi All,

I want to fit an engine oil pressure guage on my 300TD (606 engine) Gwagen. Could anyone please advise where the best place is for me to put a pick-up sensor.

Thanks in advance/Phileas

Without looking at a M606 engine, it is difficult to say, but the obvious tap would be the oil pressure switch sensor.  This means, you would no longer have a low oil pressure light working, unless you put in, an line  T-piece to accommodate the oil pressure switch and oil pressure gauge.

I will try to find out for you any other possible taps, unless some else can contribute.

Cheers,

 Thanks Rakesh,

Peter sent me a pm and I've had a good scan around the filterhousing and have found the place where the t-piece could go on. I've ordered the guage and pick-up. When it's fitted, I'll take a picture and post it for the record.

Regards,
Phileas
