Where oh where can I get an oil pressure switch that remains oil-tight for more than two weeks? ‘94 GSPD.
A switch purchased from a BMW dealer and installed by them would be warranted for at least a year.
You might find it difficult to find a dealer who will work on an Airhead, these days; at least in my part of the world.
The leaky one is six months old. Yesterday I cleaned it with carb cleaner, blew it dry and than pasted it up with epoxy. We’ll see how well that works. It looks like the one from Euro Moto has a rubber boot, might be a better construction.
That is one reason I like Engle Motors in Kansas City. When we stopped in there last month they were installing a rear crankshaft seal on an R60/2.
And, if I asked a dealership to screw in an oil pressure sending unit and reattach the wire and they wouldn't or couldn't, they don't deserve to have a Roundel of their sign. Some things, yeah I understand. That - no way.
Don't ever go to our Vancouver dealer. I am not sure they will even touch an oilhead at this point but I know they will not work on airheads. At all...
They just send everyone to Shail's Motorcycles out in Langley. He stocks loads of parts and is a factory trained BMW mechanic who used to work for Vanouver BMW many moons ago and actually had a BMW dealership briefly but corporate demands on inventory minimums and stupid crap like repainting the shop in BMW approved colours finally drove him away. He has had his own BMW business for many years now. If he ever closes we're really screwed around here...
For 20 years + I've had a VDO sender.....2 lugs.....one for light....one for oil pressure gauge.........NEVER had a leak[/QUOTE

Anyone know if Tom is still selling the sealed oil pressure switches?
