Oh-KE Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hey just wondering what this plug is for(bottom left of photo) and can I delete it? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coln72 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 wtf - never seen that before. neither of my 5k's had that on the sump. Maybe an oil level sensor but looks too low. wont need it in the KE38. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh-KE Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Cool, yeah its an import engine so maybe something that was only on jap models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Looks like an oil level sensor... See if it earths out while its empty then hook up a dash light to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 yeah I reckon make use of it you can, handy light to have. The early rx7s have a coolant level switch in the radiator that I always wanted to adapt to my cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I remember a thread about these a few years ago, you could probably find it with a search. IIRC its oil temp sensor not level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD ke70 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yes it's a oil level sensor, you have a van engine, most of the liteaces had them. Turns the oil level light on when the oil level gets to low on the dip stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) I picked a 5K engine up in Gympie last week, pulled to bits, that has the oil level sensor/switch built into the sump. I'd never seen, or had one on either of the 2 off 5K engines I've already got. I pulled it off as soon as I got the engine home, as I was intersted to see how it worked. I've got a couple of spare warning light spots on the RHS of my KE30 dash I can hook it up to. Cheers Banjo.
