Looking for Oil Pressure and fuel pressure sender For my 2200 Jabiru that are compatible with the MGL Ultra RDAC? Anybody got any recommendations? Thanks TJay

Both are available from MGL. The oil pressure sender is a VDO and is available from several VW suppliers. The fuel pressure sender is UNA and should be available from several sources.

When I was troubleshooting my oil issue I replaced my sender with a VDO 0-80 PSI 1/8 NPT if I'm remembering correctly. Should be available at Summit Racing or Jegs or maybe even your local auto parts store for about 40 bucks.

I'm running an MGL Enigma and it works fine.

Ok got Both that you guys recommended, Now I believe the gauge is 10-180 resistance what does that mean I need to program the mgl to read, It has resistances setting that 50, 100, 150ect? thanks

The Thing next on the list is the Oil Temp sender, My garage was 72 degrees all week and the mgl only reads 32degrees for oil temp, warmed up the oil pan with my head gun and then it started to climb but then slowely went back to 32 after 30 minutes,

[wlarson861]

That is common with MGL. In the cooler temps I use a multi-meter to check the oil temp , if below 40 degrees I do a pre-heat. If the oil temp is under 72 degrees it reads 32 until it's warmed up above 72. The sender isn't faulty, just the way the MGL works.

My discovery lite also reads the 32 then 72 oil temp .

My Enigma does the exact same thing with the temps.

Just looked at my oil pressure thread...

"The VDO sender I bought is a 360-003. 0-80 psi with 10-180 ohms of resistance."

...so there's your setup.

I don't remember what the MGL is set for. Know I found it in the manual somewhere. I'll try to look at my settings the next time I'm at the hangar.

Ok so I tried to hook up my UMA fuel pressure switch today and am really struggling, I hooked it up to the CHT1/WT/AUX3 spot but cannot figure out how to turn that port on so it will display onto my screen, It is not listed under engine senders setup menu, So how do I tell the MGL Ultra which sender is in that port? Anybody run into this,
