| Subject: | Oil Pressure on Rotax 912UL |
Hello. I have a 14 year old Rotax 912UL 80hp engine. When I powered up for a flight
last week the VDO oil pressure gauge was reading high off the scale. I pulled
the cowling and found that the wire had come loose from the sender. A non-aviation
mechanic friend and I managed to damage the sender so I order a new
VDO sender from Aircraft Spruce.
My IA was helping me with some upgrades on my Zodiac and he replaced the sender
today. When I powered up today the oil pressure gauge was still reading high,
135, but it was not off the scale. I shut down and powered up again and it read
120.
We are wondering if the VDO oil pressure gauge was affected by the earlier off
scale readings when the wire was broken. If so, will the gauge come back to normal
readings or should I buy a new VDO oil pressure gauge and see if that fixes
the problem? Thanks.
Regards,

Had the same problem and I had ordered the 5 bar sender and not 10 bar sender.
They will exchange if that is the problem.

I think "bar 5" or "bar 10" is stamped on the side of the sensor's hex nut.
