    Hi, I own a 1.1 Saxo Y reg from 2001. I have had trouble with fitting my new manifold and had a few questions that I couldn't find answers for looking on here.

    1.I have a green and a blue sensor so what one needs to be in the manifold ?

    2. I fitted my new manifold but was unable to put the green sensor into the hole because the oil filter is in the way ? Do I have to move it ?

    3. Can i cover the first hole and leave the green manifold hanging about and just use the blue one ?

    4. Most importantly how do i move the oil filter and where can i get the parts from ?

    I have seen old part numbers posted on here in 2007 but they don't exist anymore someone please help !

    Please give me detailed answers as I really am confused and Ive been trying to fit this manifold for days now.

    Here are pictures of my issues.

    You need to convert the oil filter to a mk1 set up,which involves tapping a hole.

    I know that but what can I use to tap the hole and where do i get it from ?
    Am I right in saying that you remove oil filter and move it to left hand side, plug the old hole and tap a new one ? How does the oil know where to go or will it just flow out of the new hole ?
