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 |

Does your 74 still have a four-cylinder motor in it? If so, the sender is an aftermarket VDO piece. Likely a "dual sender" with a couple of wire connections; often at the end of a hose from the stock "idiot light" sender location near the distributor, and most often mounted to the fan shroud or the engine tin near the coil.
Note that "Druck" is German for "Pressure". So the "Druck Press" gauge is just saying pressure in two languages. You will need to match the sender to the gauge. The common sender ranges are 0-80 PSI and 0-150 PSI. Pelican carries both of those, BTW, and probably most aircooled VW places do as well. --DD |
