Can anyone help..

My Oil Pressure Sender Unit thing has packed up..

has anyone got the finis code the unit and possibly a photo of what it looks like?

 

do you mean the one under the i/manifold? they cost a fortune,about £90+ if i remember correctly

 

That would be the one....

I dont mind how much they are, prob wont get one any where else?

I didnt even know what it was when the garage told me what was wrong with the pressure gauge.

 

finis code 6844119 for the pressure switch itself only and according to microcat its £67.05

 

What was the symptoms of this fault? Wonky reading on the guage or no reading at all??

Cheers mate

 

Thanks for that m8 Do you have an old version of Microcat as 2 people have said they should be about £90.
RADMAN is this the switch part the actual sender unit?

The gauge still kind of works, but when i turn on ignition the gauge shoots right to the top and stays there.

 

Check your connections first, as iirc gauge shooting to the top means its not connected.

Its down on the block near the oil filter.

Is that the only thing not working?

 

check fuse 27

 

and here's the wiring....

 

Cheers Kev. will check that it is connected and fuse 27..

but i put it in to groves as thought at first it was the wiring Mark done to irradicate the multiplugs and they were all shitty.

but wiring was fine and said it was the sender unit at fault.

 

was it working before that??

 

It was, which Mark said it must be the wiring when i noticed it as soon as i picked it up, he said just bring back and we';ll sort it... But after taking it back, they said the sender was up the wall.

 

Hi mate, i had similar problems but instead of actually having the eyelet secured by the two tiny nuts i soldered a connection onto the terminals and put spade connectors on. Its now working better than ever

 

that went straigh over my head..... DOH

is it possible for one of you take a snap and post it up for me as i have no idea what this thing looks like.

 

ive got one in the garage,ill get a pic tomorrow

 

do you want to sell it to me..

 

i have a similar problem after i had my car converted to autronic the std oil pressure guage in the pod shoots over max when on ign and driving ...

i was told to check all the wiring which we did and all is where it should be even tried swappign the wires over and it lit the oil light so wires were fine the way they were before ... which then means could be the sensor, BUT it worked fine before the conversion so why should it play up now??
i now have defi's just need to fit the sensor wire up somewhere now and i'll take a reading from that

 

If fords have the part, i think just going to pick one up no matter what the cost is...

if that doesnt work, then i will demanding the cash back for the part from the garage... he he

but i guess one more new part wont hurt...

 

It's never just one new part though is it

 

There was an element of sarcasm in my post, but dont worry m8.

I feel your pain too... Why do we love these cars so much is beyond me. lol

 

sorry,its part of my spares stash,lol

 

Thanks alot Radman...

i kind of thought that anyway when you said you had, but hadnt offered to seel it to since you see this post.... lol

Im right with ya tho m8, i have a small stash of parts in the loft too.
