I have just been on a good run today and the oil temp and volts work fine but my oil pressure bar goes right up and stays there the whole time until i turn the car off.

I bought this sender off the bay

Is this ok to run it????

Cool...

Remember LED's are polarity based, so if at 1st they don't work take them out and turn then 180 degree... (Just in case you didn't know)!!

part number for the blue send is 049 919 563B

Sorry to drag this up again but what is the difference between that sender and the one I have spare? Same part number but the one I have ends in 'A'.

Just want to check this one def won't work before I order one at the stealership tomorrow.

A seems to be VW

B seems to be Audi

Maybe its down to the temp on the sender.. check the reading on the sender..
