Graziano" Subject: Re: JabiruEngine-List: High oil pressure I had my VDO oil pressure sender go TU at around 300 hrs, It would go to either 79 or 80 psi on my Grand Rapids (apparently the max for the Grand Rapids) even at idle but would also, at idle, swing back and forth between normal and max. Cured with a new VDO sender from NAPA auto parts.

I checked the oil pressure with a manual gauge on the ground and the readings were fine. After installing the new one, pressures were very similar to the readings of the manual gauge. No issues since then. I wonder if the vibrations of the engine shortens the life of the pressure sender.

In cruise, the oil pressure pegged, but at idle, it seemed to register correctly. I replace the sending unit and that fixed th e problem. Greg In a message dated 5/17/2009 11:25:18 A.M.
