Evo IX MR oil drain plug! (the one with the wire)
Hello everyone. So ever since I got my evo, I've noticed that my Oil Temp gauge does not work. So today on my first oil change with the car, I noticed this.
The wire seems to have been ripped/cut. So I went ahead and unplug from the upper cable and put a normal 17mm plug in the place of this one.
Now, does anyone know where I can get one of these plugs with the wire in it to make my gauge work again? I have done some searching and looks like I'm the first with this problem. The closest Mitsubishi dealer near me is about an hour away, so I was wondering if any of the vendors here had them for sale.
Thanks.

Spoke with someone at mitsubishiparts.net and they said I would have to buy a whole new gauge setup ($300). So I'm going to have to buy it from some one in here that doesn't use their gauges any more of probably role without the oil temp gauge.
What a crappy part that mitsubishi made.. unreal!

Just an FYI in regards to a totaled part out or something like that. I have also replaced my plug due to the gauge not working and the wire looks perfect on the stock plug so you can't tell visibly that its no good.

^^^ Yeah, I wish this would have been located somewhere else.
I found this on AWDmotorsports, can anyone confirm this is the right part? I tried calling them but they are busy!

Found this in an old thread. Russell used to be a vendor here (Mitsubishiparts.net) but if you search for and in the thread he mentions you may find the part #'s he mentions.
