GMC Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 My oil pressure switch appears to be leaking. A closer inspection has confirmed it's leaking from the plastic base one of the terminals sits on - the base plastic is cracked. So it's knackered Any idea where I can get one? Quote

I repaired one in a similar condition, with araldite, and it lasted the life of the car, got to give it a good clean first with petrol or something like. those oil pressure switches are not very easy to obtain.

GMC Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 it's the 2 terminal switch. Good call with the Arldite, i'll give that a go! thanks!! Quote
GMC Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 Unfortunately the Arldite didn't work on mine........but........ picked up a brand new one off ebay for a VW. It's got a 1/8NPT thread but in my box of goodies I had an adaptor to fit it onto the M14 XE thread. Not sure if the how accurate the gauge will be as it'll possible work in a different pressure range. Any idea? Quote
