I'm in the process of installing VDO Vision Gauges in my xB. I'll end up having a total of 7 gauges. 3 are located directly to the left of the instrument (Water Temp, Vacuum and EGT) and 4 will be installed on an Autometer Pillar Pod (Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, Analog Clock and Outside Temp) Where is the stock Oil pressure sender/switch located on the xB engine? If you have pictures, Please post!

There is an oil sensor on the front of the engine.. it's is a couple of inches above the oil filter and a couple of inches below the plastic intake manifold.. Sorry no pics of it thou... Mine is used for my oil feed line for my turbo, you can't miss it... it has a plug with one wire. But it will require you to remove the plastic shroud under the car to get to it and I would recomend taking the bumper off for even easier acess to it.

Its dead center under the intake manifold, it has 1/8 NPT threads and it has a green wire with a gray connector going to it.
