hey all

anyone know if senders for oil pressure guages are universal??
(im not talking about Stack or anything like that here)

I got a guage in this car i bought, but its never been wired up,
and has no sender with it.. just wondering if i could get a sender
from local place, or am i gonna have to try and find out what the guage is ive got!!

any help would be great,! thanks!

( i guess the senders cant be that differnt anyways can they/?)

 

try burton power or realsteel

 

Vdo gauge?
Each gauge requires a different sensor as they will be calibrated for a specific sender.

yeah i was fearing that!!

i think i'm gonna have to look at some catalogs and try and match the guage i got to one in there to find out what make it is!!

thanks guys!

 

As i said before does it say VDO anywhere? because it will be easier to find a sender.
Due to having a standard resistance range.
I bought one sender off ebay to make up an oil pressure gauge, still havent got round to doing it yet though!

ah right, i will have another look, but cant remember it saying so..

will go and have a look in a mo mate!!

thanks again!

 

Have you taken the gauge out to see the back of it because if you havent you might find you have a capilery gauge in which case you'll need an oil line and t-piece

 

i did take it out mate yea, it is an electonic type one


i think it might be a mocal guage.. dunno, prolly just end up buying another guage
lol
