HELP!!!! Mitsubishi Motors Oil Temp Gauge sender unit needed

Postby matts_FTO » Tue Jul 06, 2010 1:42 pm

I am currently in the process of getting my FTO up to scratch before putting on the road.

When i stripped the centre console out to replace the heater matrix, i found 2 mitsubishi gauges lying there! One was the vac gauge and the other an oil temperature gauge. The vac gauge works fine, but the oil gauge didnt show a reading. I was aware these are quite rare gauges so i decided to fit them as i thought they are quite a nice touch.

I borrowed a decade resistance box from work yesterday and connected across the sensor input on the gauge connector. The gauge worked fine but it has a strange working range compared to all the other temperature sender units out there. The working range is as follows:

Temp (degrees C) Resistance (ohms)
50 2100
60 1400
70 1050
80 800
90 620
100 485
110 380
120 300
130 240
140 185
150 140


Does anyone know the manufacturer of the gauge or a suitable sender unit thats available?

All help would be much appreciacted

Thanks, Matt
