Re: [MBZ] W124 oil pressure gauge no worky
Especially on M119 engines. I believe it’s a part number 0065429417, and I checked and VDO was the supplier. The OE sender is about $90 and the VDO can be found in the $50-$60 dollar range. There are others, but they’re far less expensive and reliable. -D > On Jun 14, 2019, at 4:53 PM, Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes > wrote: > > 94 e420. Do the sending units go bad, or what?

Re: [MBZ] W124 oil pressure gauge no worky
Absolutely. Known issue for cars if that vintage. Be sure to buy an OE or OEM (VDO?) sender as a replacement, as aftermarket ones are known to be short-lived. -D > On Jun 14, 2019, at 4:53 PM, Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes > wrote: > > 94 e420.

94 e420. Do the sending units go bad, or what? The harness is new. No lights on the dash.
