Om606 oil pressure port - Antonytriolo - 03-20-2018

Evening 
Is there a spare port on a om605 turbo diesel that I can use for a oil pressure sensor for my digital dash on my landrover project?


RE: Om606 oil pressure port - baldur - 03-20-2018

Yes. There's a port on the filter housing that is plugged up. I believe it has a M14x1.5 thread.

Thanks baldur
It that the one on the side of the housing above the starter motor?
I think there’s one on the back too that I could feel, I might be wrong as I havnt looked

Yes, above the starter motor, it's the one bolt there not circled.

I can't say for sure whether it's M12 or M14, it's been a while since I checked.


RE: Om606 oil pressure port - Antonytriolo - 03-21-2018

Aah yes I did see that just wasn’t sure.
I will take it out as I will need a adapter to convert it 1/8npt thread along with getting a T piece for the water temperature as my digital dash is calibrated to its own sender

Have just done this, it is M12 x 1.5 mm,   I used a hex head set screw, drilled and tapped the head with 1/8" NPT drilled 3mm hole, and used 2 sealing washers as thread didn't quite go all the way up to the head.
Cheers
