i have a faulty oil pressure gauge tried fitting new dash clocks still no joy, it works sometimes on and off any ideas on what to check, which fuses lose wires etc

it'll be the sender, pretty easy to change next time you do an oil change, simply unscew the old one and scew in the new one :)

what does the sender look like

mines on the passenger side :blink: lol

Thats why i said usually lol, the sender in the TT.net thread is next to the oil filter.

thats grand cheers lads pity i only done an oil change doh:mad2:

iirc if its on the drivers side like mine is, it comes on the oil feed to the turbos pipe so if your quick, you shouldn't loose much oil when changing it.

Mines a Turbo and pretty sure mines on the left passenger side too!

If you jack up the front of the car and look at the bottom of the dipstick tube, you will see the wire for the oil pressure sender going to the rubber boot/cover.

None listed on ebay over the weekend but I enquired and rung Chris at Conceptia today and I have now ordered one, still £34.99 delivered :thumbup:

 

I did consider a OEM one but the cheapest I could find was £54 from the USA and if Gerry says these are fine well that's good enough for me

 

 

UPDATE : Amazingly the oil sender arrived next day with free candy - highly recommended
