    Hello,

    I have a 1.8t in my Corrado and I finally got around to hooking up all the MFA stuff. I have a problem with the oil temp in the MFA. With the car barely warmed up, I go from like 196* to over 300* in a matter of seconds. I am using a brand new OEM G60 oil temp sensor. I feel like the harness I made to replace the factory wiring has too little resistance, due to it being shorter in length and larger gauge wire. This in theory would give me a false high reading. ( I had to use a resistor to make my water temp gauge read correctly with a 1.8t water temp sensor). Currently if I disconnect the spade from the sensor and measure resistance from that spade to the head I get 255 ohms.

    If someone has the stock resistance value it would be much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Nobody has a multimeter and a Corrado in the same place?
