Re: changing oil pressure sender 200 89

posted by  someone claiming to be Skip on  Fri Nov 10 08:59 CST 2000 [RELATED]

If you are using the Volvo sender (gauge plus idiot light) there are two outputs and the unit is larger than the sender for the idiot light alone. That requires a 45 degree adapter that screws into the block and accepts the sender. This gives you the room you need. Any dealer can supply the adapter although you might find one at a junk yard.

The connectors on the sendor are different size and if memory serves me, the larger one is for the gauge. If I'm wrong, no harm, the gauge just pegs. Reverse the leads. In the turbo, the wiring harness has both connections of course.

To remove the sender, I have always used just a pair of water pump pliers. Of course, you want the battery disconnected while you play in there.

BTW, I have never had to remove the alternator but you might want to remove the oil filter.
