MADMALC Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I have seen the list that includes parts for the BIG light but I just need the list of parts for replacing the gauge on its own. It is a 1.8 2003 K VVC.Sorry I am not bright enough to know which parts to delete, any help from those that have done it would be appreciated.

Silver Machine Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Replaced electrical sender and gauge with mechanical (no light). I did not keep a list of parts but in essence you need a connector from the threaded hole in bottom of block, length of tubing, and a mechanical gauge. The only problem I had was connecting the tubing to the bottom of the block. Seems there are at least two different thread sizes and I think mine was tapered. I replaced the plastic pipe that came with the sender with braided hose. This meant buying another connector for hose to gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADMALC Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 I now have the answer for those who 'search' in the future. The simplest and cheapest (good old Yorkshire trait) is as follows.1 MMS5-3-451 WC-M121 OPG1001 GL10Total cost including the club discount, VAT and carriage is £59.59. That makes a substantial saving over replacing the sender.You do not need a 10 foot tube but they are cheaper than a shorter one so why not?
