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

Fiat 500 oil temperature sender: the ideal sensor for your oil sump

The Fiat 500 oil temperature sender is a fundamental component for monitoring your engine's thermal health. Unlike common warning light switches, this transmitter (Sender) sends a continuous analog signal to your gauge, allowing you to know the exact temperature of the lubricant at any moment. This high-quality Fiat 500 oil temperature sender ensures maximum reliability and precision, preventing excessive heat from compromising oil viscosity and the mechanical safety of your twin-cylinder engine.

Compact design and precision of the sender

The standout feature of this model is its short version. While the long variant is designed to reach deeper, this Fiat 500 oil temperature sender is perfect for standard oil sumps or where internal space requires a more discreet sensor. Made entirely of brass for superior thermal conductivity, it reacts instantaneously to temperature changes. The sensor body is robust and designed to withstand the strong vibrations of the Fiat 500 or Fiat 126 engine, ensuring a stable electrical contact thanks to the protected terminal.

Why choose the short version for your Fiat 126?

If you are restoring your Fiat 500 or 126 or simply want to add an oil temperature gauge, this Fiat 500 oil temperature sender in the short version is the most technically balanced choice. Its installation is quick and secure thanks to the precision threading that prevents leaks and seeping. Choosing a premium Italian-made part means selecting a spare part that respects original electrical tolerances, ensuring that the value displayed on your dashboard is always truthful and not influenced by the approximate calibration typical of low-quality sensors.
