Brabus Oil Temp.

Hello;

I want to install a BRABUS/VDO oil temp.

The sensor goes where now is the oil drain plug; the problem is that the sensor screw is 12mm; and the drain plug hole I think is 13mm.

Any idea of how I can screw it there or if there is another hole where I can put it?

Best Regards.


Ruben.

I believe the problem is you are trying to install it in the wrong hole! You shouldn't replace the drain plug with a sensor...

"Wrong hole? What do you mean, wrong hole?"

Wouldn't Brabus be a better source for this information?

Well, the sensor is original for G.

Brabus says that it replace the oil drain plug.

Best Regards.
