Non-OEM Oil Pressure Switch

[BrianG]

We have no MG dealer in the local area, so I was wondering if the Oil pressure switch on my 2000 V-11 Sport can be sourced in the automotive aftermarket....

 

Undoubtedly it can, but does anyone have identifier parameters??

manufacturer part no's

alternate vehicle application?

No, but I didn't change anything.

 

So, I pulled the pressure switch and grounded the wire.... light went on.

 

Tested the switch........ open at atmosphere........ should be closed.

 

My analysis......... switch knackered......

The oil pressure switch from a 1988 BMW 325I will be the same thread,

and the spec'd pressures are within a gnat's ass.

The electrical connection is different, (round on Guzzi, spade on BMW.

It's what I would do in a pinch.

Same switch was used on many BMW bikes, but my memory fails me as to which ones.

The airheads used 3 different switches, so I hesitate to list a reference from memory.

 

Some Fiats used the same switch, but I haven't had anything to do with Fiats in years.

I am a happy guy, and drink much less now, as a result.

This is off topic, but I can't resist. I enjoyed my fiat 850 four cylinder rear engine fastback with a progressive two barrel weber carb no end back in the seventies.

When the block cracked about two inches on the inside of a cylinder, I dremeled a groove, brazed it up, and filed it smooth. Ran great for years, but I sold it when the firewall rusted out so bad the brake cylinder was ready to break off. Loved that high revving, performance tuned engine.
