Van, the 123 240D has a non electrical oil pressure gauge therefore no
ground attachment there.
Dwight, there is an orifice in the line at the oil filter connection.
Pull the connector and see if you can find it. You may have to replace
the pressure feed line from the oil filter to the back of the gauge.

Have you changed the O-rings on the oil filter stem? Thats a cheap place
to start. Also there are a couple of ground attachments in back of the
instrument cluster that might need the "tighten up"

I have been noticing that my oil gauge fluttered at idle around 20 psi but
smoothed out as soon as it went up. I thought maybe it was a rough idle
problem.Last night it started to flutter in the 30 range. Then coming down
my street and in the driveway I heard a light clattering noise in the dash
behind the cluster and the gauge fluttered at 40 psi. Noise would
stop when I pegged it at 45 psi. Anybody have any advice? I don't recall
seeing this problem on the list over the past 3 years.
TIA.
