Adding an oil pressure gauge to my car due to a recent switch failure, just wondering if anyone can help on the size oil adapters I need? The engine is a 1.4 BKY petrol

I see M10,M20,3/4,an08,an10 fittings respectively

The pressure switch is  M10 thread, 1mm pitch if that helps.  https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/fabia/fab/2005-453/9/919-919040/

Why not just fit a new genuine switch and forget about it? The first one lasted 14 years?

I have already 

I am looking for the oil filter sizes and the extra. I know my car is 3/4-16 UNF. The extra cluster sensor is 1/8 NPT maybe?

Much cheaper and simpler to buy an M10 x 1 T piece, then you can have the switch and a gauge.

That is exactly what I am looking for right now, thanks dude

In what way did the old switch fail? False alarm? No alarm when there should have been? Or leakage?

No leakage just oil pressure light came on after long haul, then whenever it was revved above 2k

It was looked after every year until 4 years before I bought it (has dealer service stamps)never had a service for 40,000 km was put on the clock

Oh, OK; so it might be that the switch was good but the oil pressure wasn't.

Mechanic confirmed it was the switch and also the L+R linkage was gone? Could that be the symptom of something else? Maybe power steering g

Not sure what a L+R linkage is.

Is this the one? They don’t seem to have T pieces tobe exact.

The vertical rods behind the left and right wheels

Ah; Anti-Roll Bar drop links. Very common problem.

They have been fine ever since I got them replaced

I would call that a T piece and it will work just fine as long as you get the correct 1/8 NPT capillary fitting and a blanking plug.

Which 1/8 NPT capillary fitting ?

this is my gauge and sensor fitting

That's an electronic gauge, no idea what fitting that has, it should say in the bumpf that came with it.
