Oil gauge testing

[bijou22]

How do you go about testing to see if an oil gauge is faulty or not, I have replaced the sender but to no avail?

Re: Oil gauge testing

Found out now that its the gauge, need a new one.
It has a part number on it of 57865, think it may be teleflex, any ideas?

I think this may be a replacement, does anyone know;

Re: Oil gauge testing

had the same problem here. All the tests mentioned in the pdf posted from Don went fine but my gauge was all the way to the right turning the key. Then I saw that the rear part of my gauge has 4 screws + the positiv connection for the light. 3 of the srews S,G and I but the forth wasn't labeled. Since the ground was running right next to it down from the bulb negative to the G screw I tried with a washer + nut to make a connection to the ground here. This solved my problem. At least when I turn the key it shows now 0 PSI. The gauge I have is an older model from Faria

Does anyone know of a direct replacement for mine, I can't seem to find that teleflex part no. anywhere?

Middle screw is for mounting, and sometimes grounding.

Re: Oil gauge testing

VDO usually makes gauges for Volvo. And that looks like a Volvo gauge.
Your best bet to get a matching gauge is to visit a Volvo dealer and order one from the accessory catalog.

Re: Oil gauge testing

Still confused, I now have 2 part numbers to choose from, 57903E and 62155E, both of which are on the Teleflex website as below:

The only thing I am unsure of is the sender type fitted to the boat. It is definetly the original part.
Can anyone help?
