Review on VDO 360 024 Pressure Sender by Leandro Gray

I wanted to get a better picture of the condition of the engine and adding a pressure gauge was one possibility it. It really couldn't be easier. This is the same thread pitch as the stock BMW pressure sensor (M12x1.5) next to the manifold and allows you to add a pressure gauge and keep the oil pressure warning light on the dash (the existing pressure sensor's wire hooks to the W). tab on this device). It's almost as easy as taking the old one off and screwing this one on. I say almost because my distributor's capacitor got in the way. I was going to buy a new capacitor but ended up just bending the mounting tab and flipping it to mount the other way and all was fine. Not everyone has this problem, but I had. Two things to note, this particular transmitter requires a 150psi gauge and the standard oil pressure warning light comes on at a slightly higher pressure than before (I think it's 8psi instead of 7psi) so you'll check it out from time to time can see when you are stuck in traffic after hard work on the engine. Haven't used 20w-50 oil before but others have. It's such a trifle as long as you're aware of it, and certainly not enough to detract from its usefulness.
