    Oil Pressure sender

    Mine has started to play up now. I think it has a dodgy connection but wanted to check which sender is for the dash gauge.

    It either reads 1 bar over what it should do. i.e. 1bar with engine off or goes right off the scale so something has to be a miss with it.

    any input on which sender it is?

    Greg, when u say dash gauge, do you mean the centre console oil pressure gauge sender? this sender is the 'tin can' in the middle of the block, thermostat side. you know... the one that's a real pig to get too!!

        Thought it was gonna be that one. I only had the rad out a few weeks back to change them because I had a massive oil leak from there. Could I get these symptoms if the wires are on the wrong way around?

        Looks like im skinning my knuckles when the car has cooled down.

              Sounds like the gauge is running either "on" or "off" so may be a dodgy wire or short?
              Would make sense if it just flies straight off the top of the scale

                thats what im thinking, when I changed the sensor there was an orientation for the wires to go onto btu it wasnt clear which way they had to go on. It has been working so must be a dodgy wire I think
