Trying to confirm which oil pressure sender switch this is in the photo...

It's at the end of the blue wire (and needs replacing).

Thanks!

The switches are colour coded, white 1.8bar and brown 0.3bar and prob also have rating stamped on them if you remove them and have a look see.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Thanks.  Mine is white, so will order that one (thought they might be colour coded, but wasn't 100%).

High pressure sensor near the oil filter as that is where the oil pressure is high as oil is pumped through the filter and low oil pressure at the side of the head as the oil pressure is a lot lower up there.  :thumbs:

I was told to put them both on the oil filter with a tee piece.
