Where is it (2003 EJ25) and will it send a signal that will be correctly interpreted by a VDO guage?

Thanks,

ANdy.

It will not be calibrated to a vdo...you need a new sender. The coolant temp sender on the ej20t is under the intake manifold near #3( where the turbo would be if you had one).

Thanks Matt.

I was lucky? the original sender on the EJ20T spoke to my VDO temp gauge without any cal problems? I would give it a try first if I was you.nn[ Editedon 27-9-2005 by speedster356 ]

Any one else been lucky?

I replaced mine.

if you use a current 120 degree VDO Guage they are fine with the subie senders.

I checked the resistance of the Subaru sender and compared it with the VDO at the same temperature (room Temperature) and the resistance was identical. Whether or not it is the same at 90c is another story, but you would think it would be very close.

The Subaru sender is also compatible with the temperature gauge on the Mazda RX-7 series 6 instrument cluster.

@1303, what was the resistance at room temperature please?

What about oil pressure? Does a VDO guage work with the stadard sender?

Subaru don't run an oil pressure sensor only a pressure switch for idiot light. You just need to fit an aftermarket sensor if you need pressure.

hehe, now you mention that, I knew that.
