Euro block oil pressure switch....help

Post by Audilard »

Image

As you can see in this picture of my 2.5 euro block the bottom oil pressure switch threaded hole is much bigger than the 7a or 3b or aan blocks. Any ideas, leads or suggestions for a larger switch or one I can order?

#26 in the picture. The adapter is found on many I5 engines.

On a 7a Coupe the oil pressure switch is mounted there.

On my S6 I installed an oil line to a remote mounted oil pressure gauge sender.
