OLLIE 26 Report post Posted January 25, 2007 So about 2 years ago i had my oil pressure switch replaced after it broke and spilled oil all over my driveway, same thing happened a year later and again a year later (today). Has anyone else had this problem with their E30? Is this part just poorly made? is something else causing it to blow? am i cursed? WTF? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted January 25, 2007 When I was flogging cars years ago , we were constantly replacing oil pressure sender units on XF Falcoons [they were a Bosch unit] I'd say the senders are poorly made Don't overtighten them in [use teflon tape] they always leak around the plastic insulation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
