Nettlez Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'm a looking to monitor my diff oil temps as I have been having a problem with it leaking oil out the vent tube. My plan is to put a sensor in where the bottom drain plug goes using an adaptor. What sensors are there that I could use to do this that will work straight away with the link g4+? Rather than using a thermocouple and amplifier. Would the one below work plug and play? Thankshttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Oil-Water-Temp-Temperature-Gauge-Dial-Sensor-Sender-Probe-1-8-NPT-Thread-/371898084387?hash=item5696da6c23:g:qN8AAOxyk99RzwYx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Burnett Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Pretty much any NTC thermistor will work for that application. A standard coolant temp sensor would work even. I wouldn't expect the rear diff to heat up much past 130 deg C so you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nettlez Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Right ok but how do I know what the scale is of the one I buy? Ideally I want one with an 1/8npt thread as there's all ready an adapter I can just buy to convert to the thread in my diff plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
