Title: oil pressure sender unit
Post by: Lancia Beta 2000 on May 13, 2010, 01:54:14 AM
Hi guys  ;)
Do you know if the oil pressure sender  unit (82387178) has a scale of pressure of 0-6 bar or 0-8 bar?
The fiat 124 and Lancia Thema has a 0-6 bar sender...
Thank you so much for your support..

Dani,

I don't know if this is any help but have just checked two spare sender units in my  "store " and both have the same stampings on the base.  They are  2G     73  03    0 - 8 a bit of a problem with the dash before the 8 it has a dot above and below the line as in ""division"  (Can't do it on my keyboard )  Hope I haven't confused you even more. 

Ammy

Ammy thank you for your reply!
Today reading the Beta Data book, I've seen this "NOTE" , speaking of oil pump
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4053/4606660667_f3500620c3_o.jpg)

So, the maximum oil pressure must to be 4,5 to 6 bar;
an oil pressure sender with a scale of 0 to 8 bar, will transmit a lower pressure to the gauge on the dashboard..
Some friends of Fulvia forums discuss on it, because a dash gauge marked Jaeger or Veglia Borletti, need an oil pressure sender of the same brand, scaled at 0-6 or 0-7 bar
If not, the gauge on the dash, with an hot engine, still remain in the first half left of the instrument scale
The Lancia Thema 8V too, seems to be a oil sender of 0-6 bar..
