Hi all, Having a brain fog of a day scratch . Got my water temp sender in the mail to fit the drain hole in water pump. yes it fits right in but I am almost certain it is actually an oil pressure switch. I have looked high and low but just not able to find it. can anyone put me straight on this please? These are the details stamped on it. 0.060+- 0.020 bar 1459 416 4 84

That is an oil pressure switch absolutely no doubt, the temp switch is as you say much smaller. I have just had both out on the K100 to do a water pump seal.

agreed, water temp sender unit is smaller with two spade terminals at 90 degrees.

Yes I have the correct sensor on its way. beanold boy..The sensor i am after is only for the water temp. It is for the actual temp gauge.
