Guest Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 I don't know the GM part number but I used a "Standard" brand to replace mine. Works just fine and should be commonly available at any of the larger auto supply houses. The old one would spike to full scale occasionally, idling or driving.<P>------------------<BR>Hal, btk@vbe.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 Both my coupes have had the guage peg out when I first got them, but I got new sensors from NAPA that worked perfectly, so I agree with Hal...you should have no problem getting a new one & that should fix your oil pressure readings. Good luck & enjoy your Reatta!<P>Mike Book BCA # 9202<BR>Reatta Club # 407<BR>BDE # 109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kennyw Posted March 3, 2001 Share Posted March 3, 2001 OIL PRESURE GAUGE.<BR>if you also watch the touch screen, you will see [electrical problem] flash. This happens when the oil pressure goes to the top of the scale. You don't have an electrical problem, just replace the sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kennyw Posted March 8, 2001 Share Posted March 8, 2001 did I say touch screen? The electrical problem [light] shows up in the dash panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2001 Share Posted March 8, 2001 Hi I just replaced mine-- had it done at a garage, but you can do it yourself. the only problem is it's hard to get to. its in the rear behind the belt.you have to be a contortionist.they charged me 52.00 for the unit.
