you never bother me...just send txt if you need next time...
I just bought a new VDO one from Autopro Raymond Terrace for around the $60 mark trade.
Obviously not genuine, but haven't seen a NOS genuine one for 15 years.... Good pick-up there Jennie. Could I ask what was the issue with the previous senders, were they new or used previously?
Regards,
Dave
Nunc est bibendum...
Hi Jen, good score tho I'm not 100% sure but from memory I think that part number is a HQ one. Someone more cleverer than me on here will set you strait. I remember there used to be two VDO numbers, 360-004 for early holdens (up to HQ) and 360-005 for Hj - HZ UC (again memory). You can usually get the VDO ones from most good auto stores (my local Autobarn, Burstons) for about $80.

Just went and had a look on my cars in the shed ... the oil sender on my HQ GTS has the 7429181 and my HZ Sandman one has part number 9932442. Not sure what the difference is as they both look the same externally. Hope this helps you get the gauge working properly.

if it is a HQ one and it doesnt work in your van i would be very interested in buying it off you
It should still work, it just may not give the correct pressure reading ????

the one in my torana doesnt work even tried the HQ one and a new one when i turn the ignition on it goes straight up to high and when i start the car it goes down to zero any ideas ?
the original one would work for 2-5 minutes, then drop off to 0 and wouldn't work, I bought a replacement one and it appeared to work the wrong way, and take the gauge below zero when the motor was started rather than raise it, I put a second hand one in we bought from a swap meet, and this did nothing. I haven't investigated it too much more but decided to buy this NOS one, if it turns out to be a HQ one and doesn't work we will certainly sell it for what we paid for it...

one in my favour this time. Just grabbed this tonight:

Wow, that's cheap. People are usually asking minimum $400 and anywhere up to $600 for these.
Looks like you got lucky that no-one else saw it. Doesn't have Mambo in the title and it's in the transportation collectables category instead of 1:18 scale diecast. Nice pickup.
