Oil pressure sensor replacement 3.0 V6

Unread post by JT McClean »

I've had some warnings about oil pressure sensor fault. It is definitely a sensor thing, not a fatal loss of pressure, because engine runs without problem and the error comes when doing system check, power on, without engine running. Then, when engine runs, it gives another error about insufficient pressure.

Sensor seems to be above oil filter, and even getting the filter out is pain in the arse.
So, without checking things before, is it easy to remove sensor from wheel arch or should I remove intake manifold and try to remove it from above?

OK, job well done.

Pressure sensor is quite well visible under alternator, when passenger side front wheel is removed.

Sensor is rather cheap, used on Opels and Fiats, from 90's Vectras to 156 and so on.

Error code need to be removed with MES before everything was OK.
