3.2L oil transducer plug in left cylinder bank?
Those of you with access to their engines/cars....can you see plug in the left cylinder head bank that could be used for oil temperature? I think is there on the 3.4 and consequently should be there on the 3.2. The plug could be pulled and replaced with a
Sender for oil temperature .....or pressure for that matter if there is oil under there! I stumbled upon this while looking at 996 parts list! |

Are both transducer locations accessible from the top the engine through the hatch?
I plan to put a temperature probe in one and pressure transducer in the other. |
When I rebuilt my 1st engine I installed a oil pressure gauge with the sending unit installed in the drivers side cam cover. Room is limited by the air filter housing & installation must be done from underneath by the transmission. I had to make an adapter to the metric threads in the cam cover which added about 1" to the installed height & jammed against the air filter housing so I removed it once the engine was broken in.

One threaded outlet is located in each position.. This is great for pressure readings and horrible for temp readings.

I also found a temperature sensor for the oil pump on what looks to be a 986 schematic....not sure where output goes ....didn't think one can see this via the OBD. Looks like it would be dedicated for the computer |

Thanks |
I've not seen a temp sensor that would not stick out too far. One interesting souliton is to have a bung welded into one of the large oil passage ways in the oil cooler for the temp sensor.....

The oil cooler bung maybe a tricky fab by the sounds of it |

It would be nice to test the output of the 996 sender and match it to a gauge that works with the look of the car. Did you actually get a temp sensor with an adapter to fit on the passenger side? Witch gauge sensor combo did you use? |
