2.0tdi Oil Pressure Guage

[Sp3no82]

With Oil pressure issues on these engines so common I was wondering how easy it would be to install an oil pressure gau ge so that I can spot any potential issues on the horizon. I have had the hex key on the balance shaft replaced for a harder longer version so I'm happy the pump should be ok for now but it would be nice to still keep an eye on things.
Where is best to take the pressure reading from I may also install a boost gauge at the same time.
Cheers

My bet would be to make a coupling and install it in the oil pressure sensor hole, that would be probably most effective, but since you revised the oil pump (probably with kmb parts) i dont think it is necessary. Same thing goes for the boost gague, no need for it but if you really want it i would install the probe on the intake, or before the throttle body
