Ems Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Will the oil pressure and water temperature senders on the XE give fairly accurate readings on the Manta gauges or do I need to fit different sensors? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkautos Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 No they should be quite accurate, also i would replace the voltage regulator if they start lagging out, up and down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Abbott Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 You need to add a manta oil pressure sensor to the XE to feed the dash gauge. The XE sensor is just a switch iirc Some people have also swapped out the temp sensor as its a different ohms to the manta one too ( think that's correct - could be wrong as my memory is getting old. Should leave it to the youngsters etc ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The temperature sender is definitely different scales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ems Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Will a Manta 1.8 oil pressure sensor fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yeah should do but just check the tread first, don't force it . Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
