Oil pressure sensors hint

Post by RichH75 »

Hi guys can you help both of my oil pressure sensors appear to be leaking, I've removed the tin ware from the lower one and removed my water pump pulley to make my access easier. Reason I'm asking is I put a socket over the lower one and the male spade sticks out through the drive section of the socket and I'm really scratching my head on the high pressure sensor to even get something on it...... :roll:

from memory - the oil pressure sensors require a deep socket to extract - which would avoid entangling with the spade connector - hope this is of some help -

Use a box spanner! That is what they are for. :)
