pressure senders




Oil switches may be less than ten bucks, but the oil pressure
sender/switch combo is a far sight more than that from the dealer the last
time I checked.  The 5 bar unit was over $100CDN last time I priced it at
the dealer, compared to maybe $60CDN at a shop that carries VDO.  I 
couldn't imagine going anywhere but the dealer for the switches, because 
you're right - you get the peice of mind of a factory part.

The VDO part numbers I have for the dual guage/switch senders are:

0-80 PSI (5 BAR) with 7 psi warning contact, M10x1 VDO#360 006. (warning 
contact is low pressure switch - can be installed at head)
0-150 PSI (10 BAR) with 29.6 psi warning contact, M10X1 VDO#360 033. 
(warning contact is high pressure switch - must be installed at oil filter 
flange.)
