W463 1991 Oil Gauge help needed
Hi, my oil gauge on my 1991 W463 G300 has stopped working. This has happened over time, with the oil pressure looking like its getting lower, and lower whilst it's not. I've replaced the sender, but this hasn't fixed the issue. I'm assuming the oils gauge in the cluster may have gone. Does anyone have any advice on what else may have caused the issue or if the gauge has gone, does anyone know where i can get one from. My personal email is pearmund@gmail.com. Thanks
And yet no oil light on?
Suggests the gauge really then. There should be a separate gauge behind the face, separate from the speedo unit. A second hand one would do it, but worth checking for a new one also if you go to the trouble of fitting it there.
Check here for removal, last page: http://gwoa.co.uk/sites/default/files/download_pdf/repair-463/g-repair-manuals-463-headlampsr.pdf It looks a little unsophisticated!

Is the sender wiring ok?
Wouldn't the same wiring trigger the low oil light? Assuming the oil light comes one with the ignition and goes out when the engine is running. The current on the wire should move the needle on the gauge, and the lower the current the lower the gauge. I'm thinking pull the cluster backwards and out and try low current on the back of the gauge. But I am not any expert in this.
