drain plug TIV vs. T1

[zen]

i'm not at home to check and need to know...are the TIV and T1 drain plugs the same size? and what size is it (diameter and pitch)?

i need to get a oil temp sender on order today for my TIV and forgot to check before leaving.

Hi Zen,
I just recently wanted to check it out also since I wanted to place a sender there to. (I better not tell you what sender that was...)
Thread is M12 x 1,5

Good luck,
Walter

Why?

Thanks for the info and quick response Wally!!

You had to ask he?

Because its embarrasing to tell you that it was for a water sender unit :whoops:
I apperently need one because the EFI computer only 'understands' a sender unit with two wires and these units only come in M12x1,5. Whatever.

Take care,
Walter

Zen,
There are 3 different drain plug sizes in the various TIV engines. I do not remember what yours was......
