Hey guys,

I am starting to wire up my sensor inputs for my TD5, EGT, boost oil etc.

I was thinking of ways to install the coolant temp sender and came across a Radiator Hose Adaptor. They range from $6.40 to about $25 on Ebay. My question is what diameter is the cooland pipe on the TD5 and are these adaptors any good?

You can also get sandwich adaptors which means you don't have to cut your top radiator hose.
