i have forgotten where the oil feeds come off the glader go to on the engine, there is an oil feed on the side and an oil feed on the bottom. where do they go on the engine?
this one fm the side goes on motor head nd on the bottom go on the botom of motor block
there is an oil feed on the front of the block below the oil filter
and another at the back of the cylinder head roughly inline with the vw badge on the rocker cover?
do both these oil lines have the same banjos on them, as im going to make new ones up in my old workplace later. ptfe lined with banjo ends. i only have theupper oil line present at moment
im sure that i have blocked the hole near the head with a bolt but i cant remember which bolt it was
both these lines have banjo ends on them at both sides.
is the hole on the head the same hole which the dipstick is bolted to
is the bottom hose the same diameter as the one for the head and is it the same type of hose as vw have quoted me that the bottom hose comes in 2 parts and needs to be made up and cut by. cant this just be in one piece as its a return
i need to know the diameter of the lower pipe as i can get it made up for free if its ok for 1 piece
Its two piece because its a metal pipe going to a flexi end. I know the oil drain banjo is larger than the feed. I think the head end of the feed is bigger than the charger side too but dont quote me on that.
yes thats correct about the feed. just ordered a new feed from vw £19, dont want 2nd hand as sometimes they are full f shit inside
the drain is troubling me with the diameter of the pipe. do i have to have the metal part or can it be in flexi all the way. is there any reason for the metal pipe
made a new drain pipe today
where does this small oil feed go on the head, still struggling to find where it goes

Where the oil pressure sensor on the left in the pic is (blue wire connected to it) there should be an adaptor with a piece splitting allowing for a banjo bolt
sorry to hijack but what is the sensor to the right of the oil pressure sensor with the yellow wire because i dont seem to have it just the wires connected straight through?
cheers grant.
cheers but i cant seem to find where it needs to go

a few closer pics but i cant find the adaptor and the splitting piece
that's because it's not there, you'll need to buy one. Any t-piece will do really.
You can see the parts involved at the top left of this pic of my g-lader oil pipes that I sold a while ago:

knew i couldnt see it hahaha
are these cheap/expensive and where exactly does this screw into, does it go into the same hole that the blue oil pressure sensor goes into
the oil sensor comes out of the head and the adaptor/splitter arrangement goes into the head, then both the oil supply banjo bolt and the sensor go into the splitter. I think the parts are something like £30-£40 from VW so not massively expensive but you'll prob get a run of the mill t-piece and banjo bolt from Think Automotive for less than that, needs to be 10mmx1mm thread (same as metric brake pipe fittings).
awesome
my old works do brake fittings and metric fittings, will pop in there tomorrow i think.
they gave me 2 spare 10mmx1mm banjo bolts yesterday for nothing
is the oil sensor the same 10mmx1mm thread, if so that will make it easier.
there are no odd pressure valves or anything in the adaptor are there, as if i sort out a tee piece it will be a straight through tee piece. if so i think i can get one for feck all tomorrow.
by the way
cheers hayesy this has helped a lot
yep all threads involved will be 10mmx1mm and no there's no valves or owt, it's just a tee-piece.
how does this look
