Thanks for the video, I've been contemplating replacing that sensor. Thanks for sharing your video, now I know I can do it. By the way that was pretty funny at the end there...almost had me foolded

Very helpful video, thank you! I need to replace the oil level sensor on my 997.1 and it is in there next to the pressure sensor. Did you get a feel while you were in there that it can be done? There is almost nothing online about it and some have said you need to drop the engine and remove the intake manifold. I would love to learn your thoughts on this...can it be done as a DIY by a DIY kind of guy? Thank you! -Tom.

Hey Tom, I was razor focused on the pressure sensor. There could a been a gold bar next to it & I wouldn't have noticed. Us DIY'rs can do anything we can get our hands on. My quick search found this, good luck. www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Porsche-996-997-Carrera/26-FUEL-Replacing_Engine_Sensors/26-FUEL-Replacing_Engine_Sensors.htm#:~:text=Figure%203%20The%20oil%20level,side%20of%20the%20engine%20block.

went to FCP euro to buy the sensor and they suggest a socket to remove/replace the sensor. any reason you think a socket would not work? thanks

Good Luck with that, I never would have bought a special crows foot with drawers full of sockets if it could a worked for me.

Quick question, you did not spill any oil replacing this part? I have low oil presure while idling (below 1 bar) at operating engine temp and some valves are 'tapping' at that moment, with the slightes rev the tap goes away and the oil presure builds up. Under load it is also acting quite normally.

Not a drop of oil was lost in the replacement. The "below 1 bar" while idling is typical of the bad sensor switch, Tapping is something else

Nice to know. The tapping only starts at oil presure brood 1 bar. So that could ne the solution.

@@jacobhrndz3537for the moment I've added Wynns supercharge to the oil (0w40 mobil1), oil pressure does not get below 1 bar anymore, on my next oil change I'll switch to a heavier weight oil. Additionaly a low temp thermostat, new oil pump and probably a manual fan mod wil help as well. With the hotter oil temps it looks like the mobil 1 0w40 does not keep up its viscosity. The ticking is still around in my engine, yet my bores look fine.

Clean the engine / chassis earth lead connection point at the chassis next to the rh exhaust. This problem, slow cranking and others will go away. 5 min job.

wiggle it, pull on it, does it feel tight or lose? I'm sure I did it before ordering the replacement, it may not of made the video.

@@UncleFjester in some instances the nut is loose causing intermittent conditions which can improve when engine heats up. If you remove cap on old sensor and slide the mechanism , resistance should change proportionally as it is linearized if not sensor is bad. Just throwing out my experience as a design eng when I was at Magna for NA OEM oil pressure sensors, Porsche is no different just 5x more expensive as you mentioned. Cheers and nice tool set up!

@Uncle Fjester the car runs great and the pressure gauge shows good pressure the only problem is that indicator light so far.
@UncleFjester
Жыл бұрын
If your showing good pressure and the normal fluctuations, I doubt its the sensor as mine was either low to no pressure or bouncing around like a 2 year old. My thinking is the sensor has a bladder connected to a variable resistor. Any light has to be something else like a fuse or relay? But IDK, just offering something to think about....
