Default Oil pressure sender.. vdo gauge always maxed out..

The car part sites don't seem to be that big a help.. maybe someone has one lying around? I assume mine is dust considering my reading is maxed out and the self-check tells me oil pressure problem.. been like this since I bought the car over a year ago, just didn't bother caring really.

Edit - It's a b3 (1988) by the way, and now I ended up finding it on the sites.. had to search instead of go through categories. They're super cheap..

Think this would fix the problem?

First check to see if the wires are on the sensor.Lose wire will give you same symptom as bad sender

Default Checked the wires, they're good.. wow tight space to work with

This might be a pain in the *** to change, my back already aches from bending in to check the wires fully hahah

The more you do the easier it gets. Good luck.

Judging from part pictures, just unscrew and replace with new one?
