So last night the hose from the engine to the oil pressure sender blew out and sent oil everywhere. fortunately I was about 1 mile from home. Lot of oil everywhere, hopefully I did not fry the engine. of course to figure that out I need to get a new sender in place. I would like to have a sender that works the green idiot light and can also work a gauge and of course I would rather not have a hose after this incident. Any suggestions on the sender type and where to get it and what to expect when i try to restart the car...after adding oil of course! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Buy a 928 SS braided brake line (Bruce Stone's recommendations) which screws into the case. Buy a VDO twin post oil pressure sender that screws into the female end of the brake line, and fabricate a bracket to mount it to the engine so that it is grounded (electrically). Connect your existing oil pressure light switch wire to to the corresponding post on the sender, and run a new line to a matching VDO oil pressure gauge and to the other post on the sender.

Look up a rear brake hose for a 1982 928. I got one at O Reilly ( ATE) for about $20. |
