VDO Gauge Oil Pressure Switch / Sender

Well I can confirm this sender works a treat!
Heres what I did:
Ran an M10x1 die down the new sender taking the taper off it.
Mauled the knackered old sender off the block with a pair of pump grips
Screwed the M10x1 male to M10x1 female adapter into the block with a copper crush washer and torqued it up
Then screwed the new sender into the adapter using a dowty seal. Nipped it up with a stubby 17mm spanner - all of the above without removing a thing off the engine - loads easier with the adapter in place than trying the get a spanner on the hex going straight into the block.
Started it up and gauge sprang round to 5+bar. Happy days
Just waiting on a new 1.8bar switch now too.
So in conclusion, not a perfect direct fit replacement, but easy to do and half the price of the OEM one (while it's still available)Panthero Coupé quattro 20vt
