I need to buy an oil filter adaptor plate...so i can fit my oil pressure/temp sensors to.. anyone know the thread size of the oil filter on a pd130 engine... the ones i have found listed are for vw & state a thread size of A 3/4th UNF-16 thread, is this the correct size i need...

this is what im looking at getting..

thanks guy's........

wont fit mate. The pd130 has a different type of filter and housing. The linked one is for a metal screw on filter, the pd130 has a paper filter that fits in a metal housing.

this is the filter that we use

thanks m8 ive got that oil sump plug coming but (2 week wait) just took my gauges out to have a look & this is the way it sugests you fit the oil pressure gauge so in that case im stumped any ideas how it can be done?

If you look at the pic below it shows a sealing plug (labelled number 6) You might be lucky with this but youd need to check against the actual one in the car and have a poke around.

Theres also a plug labelled 6a but doesnt have a part number but looks like a sender unit of some kind so i reckon you could do something from the filter area anyway. If it aint to cold tomorrow ill have a look at mine and take a couple of pics.

The only problems i can see is the sealing nut on the filter is stated as an m12 x 1.5 and the oil sump plug youre getting is m14 x 1.5 so doubt its going to do the job in all honesty.

yeah its a generic sump plug that fits all vag sumps. The filter housing seems to have a smaller outlet though.

I imagined you were going to run the temp gauge from the sump as i did? In which case the plug youve ordered will be fine. Is the pressure sender a similar sort of thing to the temp one? If it is and is a 1/8 pitch then i reckon this might do for the pressure sender

However im just guessing with that but it is m12 x 1.5 with a 1/8 internal pitch etc so should in theory work fine.

Id see what else people suggest as it might be a lot easier than im making it out to be with the pressure sender and gauge. See what other replies you get!
