Oil temperature sender for Fiat 500 and Fiat 126 – Long Version

Fiat 500 oil temperature sender: precise monitoring in the oil sump

The Fiat 500 oil temperature sender is an essential tool for those who want to monitor the thermal health of their classic car with millimeter precision. This transmitter, produced by the Italian company Facet, is designed to be installed directly in the oil sump, the nerve center where the lubricant collects and where the temperature truly reflects the engine's stress level. By installing a high-quality Fiat 500 oil temperature sender, you can prevent the degradation of the lubricant's properties due to excessive heat, protecting internal mechanical components from premature wear.

Technical features of the long version

This specific long version of the sensor has been studied to ensure impeccable detection even in the presence of enlarged oil sumps or engine blocks with deep housings. With a total length of 85 mm and a measurement from the sensor base to the nut of 65 mm, this Fiat 500 oil temperature sender ensures that the brass tip remains immersed in the constant flow of lubricant. The 16 x 1.5 thread pitch guarantees a perfect watertight seal, avoiding oil leaks that could compromise the cleanliness of the engine and the garage floor. Verifying these measurements is essential to ensure that the sensor does not interfere with the internal walls of the sump while maintaining a constant and truthful reading.

Why install a Facet temperature sender on your Fiat 126?

Purchasing this Fiat 500 oil temperature sender represents an investment in the longevity of your twin-cylinder engine. Unlike a simple switch, this "Sender" works in synergy with your needle gauge, offering a linear and precise signal variation. The brass structure is resistant to corrosion and the vibrations typical of air-cooled Fiat engines. Whether you are heading to a summer car meet or preparing your Fiat 126 for sportier use, this long-version transmitter ensures you always have an eye on the only data that really matters for engine survival: the actual temperature of the oil in the sump.
