   OK, i have an oil pressure guage and it has 5 wires coming from it. 2 red, 2 black and one green. One of the red and black is for the bulb to light, which i have wired up to my lights. The other red and black i can only assume is a power source so i wired them up to a permanent live and earth. I have been told the green cable is to detect the oil pressure and needs to be connected to an ECU sensor or something? Just need to know where i am likely to find this cable and what colour it is etc etc. Cheers people

   there isnt an oil pressure sensor on any saxo only oil pressure switches so you need to buy a oil pressure sender and then connect it somewhere ie remove oil pressure switch and t-peice it in there.

   ive connected an oil gauge to a friends vts, as i dont have my vts anymore, but the it seems to show the oil pressure a bit high, what is the presure suppose to be on a vts, when on idle cold, hot and while crusing etc.
