Oil pressure gauge

classicswede · Feb 26th, 2006, 19:40

What pressure does the oil pressure gauge go up to on a 400 series. I have a sender but I need to know if I need to use a 3 or 5 bar gauge.

My guage goes to 70Lbs per square inch if thats any help!

Thanks that should be very helpfull. I will convert that and should give me a good idea on what gauge to use.

It would be useful if you know the output volts of your pressure sender to find a matching gauge.

70psi is just under 5 Bar.

VDO oil pressure senders (which I'm 99% sure this is) all use 0-180ohm variable resistance to ground as the 'output technique'.
