    Oil Temp sender/sensor

    Hi guys,
    just doing some more work on the car and wanted to get the MFA Oil temp to show on the dash. It hasn't worked since I've had the car.

    So I ordered Part 049919563A from FCP and it worked fine until I stopped the car and realized that it was leaking oil from the base of the sensor. In my wisdom, I thought I would be smart and tighten it up with my ratchet. But I went to far as it sheared the head off the new sensor and I had to fish out the copper thread

    I've put the old one back in until I get another.
    Can i just confirm that the above is the correct part number and if I can replace the metal washer on the sensor to a rubber one? I thought that might help me get a tighter fit. I would take out the sensor myself and check the part number but can't be bothered waiting the the engine to cool down lol

    Image below of sensor before I tore off the head.
