Maybe better to run a copper or brass line up higher on the engine and bracket a little drop ear type elbow fitting to the block.

oil gauge leak behind the dash. Anybody have luck fitting an electric pressure sender where the oil pressure sender line comes out of the engine? Anyone know the pipe fitting size? Maybe there's a better location to tap into? I'd like to use VDO but there may be a higher quality option for an electric sender hanging off the bottom of a diesel engine. thanks....

Why not replace the gauge or fix it? Cracked gauges usually just need to be resoldered at the base of the bourdon tube.

I'm going to post a WTB for a worn out cluster now. anyone here have one I could send you a money order for? I could come up with something pretty cool in a few evenings work.

I would love to throw a piece of painted aluminum in there that holds the original speedo tach/clock and room for three or so aftermarket guages.........100 psi oil pressure, oil temperature, water temperature, fuel level.... I wish there was a guage cluster conversion kit for this car because like charmalu said the new guage cluster is many hundreds. love to have an extra cluster to mess with so I can know my readings in the meantime.

I have a spare but it reads in *F and psi instead of *C and bar. Functionally identical.

I recommend getting a relocation kit. you can find them for VW's and other makes. you'll get 12 or so inches of braided hose to go from the oil filter housing to the firewall. and then get a VDO sender that matches the range of the gauge you install.
if it were my car, I'd just fix the system that's there - it's easy to replace the hose and as the other guys suggest, it might be easy to fix the gauge too. and you end up with a nice, OEM looking setup.
The G-wagen has an electric gauge so I had to do the relocation kit when I installed the 617A

here's the plan..... oil pressure gauge will go in the overhead console that's coming in the mail with a relocation kit. Oil pressure will read 0 in the stock location but at least i'll have a stock instrument panel to look at. A modern gauge will tell me the real oil pressure, and the old gauge will just be disconnected and the oil behind the dash cleaned up as best as possible. Thanks for the help guys..

An electric sender is a variable resistor. You'd need a separate pressure switch to trip a light.

On my Vanagon I had a VDO oil pressure sender with two posts, one for the gauge, the other for a warning light AND a buzzer. According to me, it's not an idiot light if there's a gauge too, it's a warning light. The buzzer can get annoying under certain circumstances, like under hood maintenance.

You should tap the alternator light system (field coil), that way the buzzer only operates if the engine is running.

That's a very good idea. I didn't know that I could do that. A low oil buzzer is a good idea because of all the exterior oil lines.

I had the horn wired to the oil pressure sender for about five minutes before I used a buzzer behind the dash. Figured it would warn me if the car was idling outside. A little more complicated circuitry would allow that. I leave the Benz idling outside for 10-15 minutes at a time. That'd be nice.

(08-05-2010, 07:41 AM)rdirtycar Stewart Warner part number 7011546 converts the oil filter housing to M-10. Then there is another adapter from M-10 to the NPT for 42draftdesign.com oil sender relocation kit hose to the kit's manifold that holds a 150psi sender with M-10 threads. That's how I'm doing it.Before anyone goes and tries the Stewart Warner gauge adapter, let me try an idea I have with a 12x1.5mm banjo connection and some tubing running to a tee that for now can hold my sender and some day connect to a bypass oil filter. There is just no sealing surface on the little adapter. There is no shoulder for a crush washer and the threads are not tapered at all.
Electric oil pressure gauge where the sun visor was.
