Oil pressure sender

[AndyP]

Anybody know the VDO part number for this? Just been quoted £80 from Audi

One or two pin

2 pin

Anybody?

I need one with a paralell M10 thread, all the ones I see listed have taper threads

[Acidburn]

What engines do they come on as i've got a few and you can have one if i've got it

But I guess you have looked there already...

Interested to see if any of these are of any use, still not that cheap but a good saving over the stealer.

Trouble is our senders not only have a pressure scale output but also a low pressure warning.

Can Pete @ QC offer anything?

can someone post some details on the senders? Where does the blue cable goes and when you turn ignition on it goer from sub zero to zero and while cranking rises further? mine doesnt go any higher than zero right now.

not sure whioch colour wire is which. One is the pressure scale output, the other is a low pressure warning which closes circuit to light up the autocheck
If you connect them the wrong way round the gauge reads maximum - off the scale.
Sounds like your sender is faulty or you have a bad connection between the sender and gauge.

I had the reverse the wrong way round gauge went to zero off the scale

Another thing is on my stroker the gauges fit in the reverse location of the ABY

My sender has 2 wires on it and a third wire goes to a sender underneath!

[Error404]

must be an ABY thing, IIRC the plugs behind the gauges are different? Either way I don't think the wires are the wonrg way if the gauge rises to zero with the ignition on
Underneath is the 1.8bar pressure switch - wires for both switch & pressure sender come from a common loom

If you ground out the two wires that go to the pressure sender you should get the autocheck oil warning and one extreme on the pressure gauage - either minimum or maximum.

what do you mean by this?

Well I've tried all the links listed above and many more and nobody can get one. I've spoken to VDO today and even they don't list it any more, in fact they don't make anything now with an M10 paralell thread, they are all tapered.
Looks like I'm going to have to take one for the team and order from the Stealers
