hi mate thats the oil pressure gauge. the sender unit is on the back of the engine near the cam belt cover
So its the guage or switch thats gone or maybe a wire loose ill check it in the morning tks for that
Was having engine blowing up thoughts :((
If it didn't have oil press anymore the oil press warning light would have been illuminated..
Sensor or connection issue. Don't panic, if the oil pressure is too low, the oil can icon begins to light on the dashboard.
I wouldn't worry about it, imagine how I felt when I saw mine jumping up & down like a maniac while I was stationary
Just replace it & all will be well again and if you're feeling particularly flush with cash or a bit mental (or both) the part number is 77 00 843 236 & approx £62 from Renault
So is it the switch that will be nakered as mine isn't working either.
Yes, but have a good look & make sure the wire to it is connected properly 1stOriginally Posted by redeye83
Ok it's an F7R megane lump but it's identical to the valver/willy, look at the bottom right of the picture, underneath that curly heatshield, that silver & black thing with the red wire poking out the top is the sensor, iirc you need a 19mm spanner to remove it
I just tickle the actual connector a bit and it just comes back to life...though mines not even got an oil pressure gauge anymore!
Tried fiddling with it, removed the cable cleaned and plugged in again , no joy, so most prob the switch is dead. Anyone got a spare second hand one, they want 85 euro for one here and 3 weeks to order.
tks again guys
