Hi guys,

I'm an owner of Alfa 155 1.8 8v. I bought it some half an year ago and since i have it bar meter on the dashboard is not working. I got the the oil pressure sensor and took it the other day to the service. They told me its not the right one its the oil pressure sender i need to replace (the smaller one near the oil filter). After they replaced that one nothing happened (of course), the bar was still dead. Then i was told that the intake manifold is replaced and this one misses something and thats why it not working. Is it possible that intake manifold has to do somthin with it?


Thanks

Hi,
I am pretty sure that the sender for the gauge (bar meter) is located at back of engine, and is a cylindrical shape, about 2-3cm across and about 4cm long.

8 in this picture

Think the one at front is the MINimum Oil pressure switch

Of course the problem could just be your guage itself.

I can confirm that number 8 is the oil pressure sensor.

Ok but is the sensor in any way conected to intake manifold?Because i was told that my intake manifold was replaced and even if the new sensor is inserted inside it wont work.

 

[unquestioned]

Not to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks i thought so but wanted to hear another opinion.

The pressure sensor doesn't have any connection at all to the inlet manifold.

I had the same problem as you - the gauge on the dashboard never worked, when I bought the car. After reading some threads in the Bulgarian alfa forum, I found out that the oil pressure sensor of the car, is the same as an oil pressure sensor of the Soviet VAZ. It costs around 7-8 leva in Bulgaria, which is approximately $5-6. And it actually works pretty good. I see that you are from Serbia, and I guess that as in Bulgaria, you still have some shops that sell parts for VAZ. So I would recommend you to try with that one, and see if it works. If not, it is cheap, so its not a big deal
P.S. I forgot to mention, that you will just need to make an adapter, to decrease the thread from 14x1.5 to 10x1 , and after that you should not have any problems.

I hope it helps

Hi tx3m, i took a used one and as for now it works ok. Will get a new one when this one goes to hell....well to be straight am trying to keep parts as original as i can. Anyway thanks for an idea, in this times its good to save on parts
