    I changed the oil sensor on my VTS because on the dails I had no reading after changing I still have no reading.

    Oil temp sensor is on the sump at the back
    
    Could be a problem with the loom?

    As Raunchz has said try the loom,trace the wire/s back & look for a break.

    That's the reason presumably your oil temp on the dash doesn't work?
