I'm running a full set of VDO gauges. Do's anybody know the Ohms value for the factory senders? Oil and Water temp and oil pressure. If they match the VDO requirements, it will save a lot of money as I need Two sets.

Wow! Nobody knows. I've been searching the internet and can't find the answer.

My 4 Subaru's 04-05 forester XT and 06-07 Impreza's only have oil pressure idiot lights, so it either reads 0 ohms or infinity.
I could not find the published ECT sensor curve.

For the temperature sensor; pull it, break out a meter, and Google calibration using an ice bath and/or boiling water.

Has anybody ever found the thread size for the water temperature sensor? Mine is from a 07 EZ30. I'm hoping there all the same. I checked a hardware store, Lowes and called a Subaru parts department. It doesn't look like it's a pipe thread and it's not metric.
