Oil Gauge Does't Work.

[BLUE]

I purchased a Surf 2.4 TD SSR-G a month ago and the Oil guage does not work, The motor is a 1992 model can any of you guys tell me where the sender is and if it is the only way of checking if the oil is going around. The engine bay is so full i can't see D**K.

If & i mean if the speedo face has been changed to a MPH / KMH from the original KMH, then maybe whoever has done the conversation may have knocked the Oil Pressure neddle back & it will not show the oil pressure.

Months ago i had a local guy up here in ayrshire with the same problem, it was a newish import,bought locally.

I dismantled dash & moved the neddle, hi presto it worked.

Might be worth a try first.

Sender is on drivers side of engine rearwards of oil filter and a little lower.The wire for this goes into the loom at the alternator.

I Think Is A Problem

Thanks folks

I found a green and yellow wire about two inches long hanging out of the wiring loom near the alternator. With ignition on arced it against the body and the guage worked. However no sign of a sender, holes with bolts in but no sender.

any suggestions?

lucky you buy a sender, looks like a sort of mushroom

Sorted A Bit

Thanks Guys
The mushroom bit gave it away. I found it hiding behind the exhaust manifold down pipe, a bit difficalt to see without pulling off various covers from inside the wheel arch. now all i gotta do is join the two together and rock and roll Thanks again .
