My '74 2.0 914 has a 911 dash instrument panel with a Druck Pressure gauge. I have confirmed that my oil pressure sender unit has failed. I'm assuming that a Druck oil pressure gauge and sender is not standard factory equipment for a 914. How do I know what sender to buy?
Thanks, guys. I really miss my pressure gauge not working. Dan |

From memory the 1 to 5bar unit wasn't used for long on ROW 911's, so of course the 80psi sender is the correct one,shop around the senders can range from crazy expensive to reasonable,I'am running a 150psi VDO dual function one that has the higher pressure warning of 10psi,good peace of mind solution IMO.
Bought mine on ebay for $35 some time ago and have had no issues,only thing I didnt like was the plastic thumbscrews so replaced them with small nylock nuts. |

Here's a picture of the sender. 80psi or 150psi? Curious on the Druck gauge the range is 1 to 5, how does this range relate to the 80 or 15psi? |

Approx 15 psi per each bar. Jim |
