Replace what I think is an oil pressure switch ?
« on: 08 March 2005, 12:55 »
Afternoon all !

Right I've ben trying to trace a leak for a while now - and after a bit of elimination and steam cleaning it looks like the (I hope I'm right on this) 1.8 bar Oil pressue sensor has oil leaking from the top of it! Of the 2 switches on the oil cooler this is the larger one with a yellow wire connecting it and a rubber boot around it. Have I got the right part ???

Has anyone else ever had an oil leaking from the top too - I just don't wanna get yet another part and i've not read the problem properly !

Any help would be great  :tongue:
