Pictures of oil pressure sender on the back of a B18E‎ engine built in March 87 (found a sticker on one of the core plugs!). It is still on a standoff with a banjo bolt. Front side also has a pressure switch switch, which is unexpected.

Thanks James. Good info. Just in the process of designing a bracket. I'll get my friendly CNC operator at work to make it. If it works ok I'll make a few up.

Sod's law. Found a 480 oil pressure sender and bracket.

Will cad it before I fit it, so at least I can remake it when they are all gone!

Look what arrived today! :hopping:

Taken a while to find one, but finally got one from a nice Dutch chap.

Came with a set of turbo gauges too, so will offset some of the cost.

£50 to get a needle to move about an inch. Well worth it!

From which Dutch chap did you get one? I know quite a lot of them but only few know how (or are willing) to send abroad. :D
Anyway, I am looking for the specs of the oil pressure sender which goes into the adapter. I know it is a Facet 7.0627 because there's one on eBay which is supposed to be for the 400-series. Using that part number, I have found some sort of cross-reference:

Hi Robert,

William Koekkoek from Lelystad. He advertised some parts on the Volvo 480 facebook forum. Rear lights and centre plate, pollen filter housing etc.

I hoping this pressure sender works but just glad to get the adapter!

William is the kind of hobbyist you'd like to have nearby. :) No inflated prices and knows a lot about the 400 series stuff.

I found a VDO website which gives a lot of data about the sensors!

https://vdo-webshop.nl/en/search?contro ... 81.034.002
VDO Pressure Sender 0-5 Bar - M14
VDO 360-081-034-002C
Pressure range: 0 to 5 Bar
Thread: M14 x 1.5
Sender resistance range: 10 - 184 Ohm
Sensor signal: 1-pole common ground
Warning contact: 0.25 Bar ± 0.15 Bar

There is even a calibration chart so I can adjust the meter to reflect actual oil pressure.

The French car parts outlet Mister-Auto sells the FAE 14870 for £44.10 so when someone manages to manufacture the adapter, there should be adequate supply of the oil pressure sender itself.

Sorry to wake up an old thread again...but Marc, did you get anywhere with manufacturing the adapter bracket for the pressure sender? I realise that you were lucky enough to get the complete set-up so probably not.

I have the usual problem - the spares box has supplied the volt meter/oil pressure gauge for the centre in the "new" Celebration, I have a spare sender, but what I am missing is the banjo bolt bracket to be able to fit it.

Thanks

Thanks Marc - if I haven't hit lucky by the time you do, then I will certainly be in the queue for one!
