I'm following up on all the advice I received for my '87 Westy's low oil pressure problem. The warning light and buzzer come on after about 10 minutes of driving on the transition from high rpm to low rpm. Typically this is when the rpm's fall below 2500. The oil pressure sensor that the dealer replaced is a 1.6 bar sensor located in/near the oil filter flange. According to the dealer fiche there are two other sensors a .9 bar sensor near the oil pump and a .3 bar sensor somewhere else. (??) In the Bentley's I only saw two sensors. Does anyone know which sensors perform what function and which one I should be looking at for the high to low rpm transition warning? Dennis, I think you indicated that the one near the oil pump might be the one. I just had the dealer order one. Any help with resolving this is greatly appreciated! Jeff H. '87 Westy ps - for those who just tuned in, no need to discuss oil type, filter, pressure relief piston or oil pump. We've been there.
