- Locate the existing oil pressure/temperature sender unit on the engine block.
- Carefully unscrew the old unit.
- Apply a small amount of thread sealant (if recommended by vehicle manufacturer) to the threads of the new Hella Sender Unit.
- Screw the new unit into place by hand, then tighten with an appropriate wrench. Do not overtighten.
- Connect the 3-pin electrical connector securely.
- Reconnect the battery and start the engine. Check for leaks and ensure the oil pressure/temperature gauge or warning light functions correctly.
Care: This is a sealed electronic component. No regular maintenance is required. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive chemicals. If the unit or its connector becomes dirty, clean gently with a dry cloth.
