Oil Pressure Sensor Potential Leak?

[Dan_GTi8v]

As Kells said the brown one is the same as the blue one. The 2 colours relate to low (1.3 bar i think) or high (1.8 bar)

White afaik is still white but some aftermarket places replaced brown with blue, the shop should have in their computer what bar the sensor reads so worst case say u need the 1.3 bar one. You could also try and find the other one which should be somewhere near the oil filter, if that ones white you deffo need the one that isnt white

Should be a little o ring, if not wrap the threads in ptfe tape.

There was a small washer right at top of thread, is that where the o ring shoul be? I've probably got one that'll fit, I'll get a pic in a sec...

Was the washer copper if so that will act as a seal.

This is the old One,  but new one is the same.. don't think washer is copper... Should I put an o ring on it as well?

Cheers....

I believe the o ring sits in the groove.

I've over slept so missed tps so ptfe it will be, gonna pick some up and put some on the thread, I know gas ptfe is thicker than the water pipe one, so I'll go for water  pipe one and do 2 turns of it, should seal it ok.   Or I do have loads of rubber washers for water pipes for washers/dish washers which would fit well too... Will have a look later
