oops Soz gents was reading something from this bit, its moving
Er... yeah, no probs like that here... don't ask about the AT temp gauge tho... that **** thing sounds like some modern number one record..
Mine is connected to the blanked EDC boost pressure sensor on the back of the plenum chamber - and piped thru the main cable grommet adjacent steering column ( if that helps ). I could put piccies up if it would help .... ????

sat with baited breath, I might bottle the breath see if that will stop the thing rattling.right. ok... watch this space !!
and this piccie show the pipe to the boost gauge, in green (!), from the rear of the plenum using the blanked off hole on the rear. For completeness - this is used for a sensor for EDC, which minec hasn't got anymore, hence it being available for this use. A 95 manual I am breaking has the same boss on the plenum, so I hope yours has too.... ( of course if yours has EDC, then you will need a plan B!!)

You must have read my mind I was going to ask do you know the thread size, I've got a few kicking about, just another quickie do you know what size diameter tube you used, I've got some silicon around 3mm int tube that's great for using and not needing a jubilee etc, I read somewhere that the more flexible and smaller diameter tube the more consistent the reading, not sure if BS or not, read it in a rally mag in the dentist, my rally disco lol shouldn't notice the difference, oh sox yes did you lock tight or ptfe or straight fit, thanks matey appreciate it,

Just checked, got a banjo of a 200tdi hopefully same, after a quick look gonna need some bigger than I've got tube, I've got some petrol pipe I'll use that and clip it,

Sorry. missed your replies. I used petrol pipe for the bit 'tween the plenum and the interior, and then 3mm silicon which came with the gauge up through the vent. Joined them with a piece of small bore copper inside the silicon, which was then pushed up into the petrol pipe, and then a jubilee to hold it together. The banjo was sealed to the plenum using some old copper washers I had and some Loctite 542. Its low pressure, and a leak is just a PITA, rather than say, a fire risk. Petrol pipe to banjo uses a jubilee.
