ok guys,

i was out with my dad in my car today and the oil presser light on the dash went on. he says thatit dosnt sound like theres low oil pressure so he told me to look up a test online to see if the oil pressure sender was faulty. i looked it up here and i couldnt find a test.

is the only test take it out and put another one in and see if it works?

'74, 1.8l

uh, when you put that new sender in there....make sure its tight but not too tight.

I leaked about a quart of oil PER day and it was from a leaky oil pressure sender.


these cars are great, arent they (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
