Nu när jag med all hjälp lyckats reda ut hur givaren skall kopplas in har jag börjat luska i hur jag kollar samman givaren med mitt nya instrument (M3 E36)
Jag har hittat en ok text om att få igång förbrukningsmätare ELLER oljetemp men är lite osäker på vad som menas. Skulle någon villa dela med sig av hur ni upfattar texten.
den första långa delen behandlar förbrukningsmätaren och den kortare texten oljetempen.
Jag får det till att man med oljetempen drar en kabel direkt från pin 13 till givaren och kan hoppa över allt i den övre texten, vad säger ni, uppfattar jag det rätt eller? Jag bifogar texten här och hoppas på hjälp.
Ber om ursäkt om detta anses förmärkesspecifikt.

Using Bentley, I figured that the white/black wire coming out of the DME is the signal for fuel consuption. It runs accross the back engine bay to the X20 connector which is a big black round connector next to the fuse box. You twist to unlock and open it. You will find that the female side (top part connected to DME) has a connection for pin #24, but the male side has the hole for pin #24 empty. (You can make sure that this is indeed the white/black wire by pulling back the protective rubber boot on the female connector). You need to put the male circular connector in this slot. However, it is not as simple as just sliding it in. If you look carefully, there is a thin locking ring between the inner and outer rows if pins. This needs to be turnes on click counter clockwise. Use flat jewlers screwdrivers to pry the losking tabs away while turning. It turns freely once the tabs are cleared. Now you can push the circular connector all the way in. Be sure to return the locking ring to it's original locked position.
From the newly placed male pin connector, run a length of 18 gauge wire (about 3.5 feet) onto the fuse box (open it by undoing the 4 torx screws) and through the common fire wall wire opening into the driver footwell. Thread it along with the wire bundles that go the X16 connector on the tach side of the instrument cluster.
Remove the instrument cluster and remove the x16 connector from the back of the cluster. there is a pivoting lever that swings up to release the connector. Open the X16 connector by prying off the sliding cover. A double row of female pin connectors slides out. Pin #21 is empty and needs the bushing contact to be inserted. Connect the two wire ends together to complete the connection. Tidy up the wiring, put the cluter back and there you have it.
I just removed the MPG gauge and replaced it with a Euro oil temp gauge. You'll need to get your hands on a Euro instrument cluster. There are several versions, KPH, MPH, celcius, Farenheit. I got a used cluster with MPH and oil temp in Farenheit (120-300 degrees). Overall, the install is just like the MPG gauge. The difference being that on the x16 white connector, instead of putting the pin into slot 21, you put the pin into slot 13 and run a wire from there to the sender. My vdo sender is on a JTD oil distribution block rated for 120-300 degrees farenheit. It was sending to a 2 1/16 inch VDo vision oil temp gauge. I just sent the signal to the cluster instead. Works perfectly.
