This is an oil pressure sensor that monitors the lubrication system's oil pressure and sends this data to the engine control unit (ECU). It is manufactured to meet stringent Volvo specifications, ensuring reliable performance that surpasses a worn sensor exhibiting erratic readings. Failure can manifest as a fluctuating or absent oil pressure gauge reading, or illuminate the oil pressure warning light, potentially leading to incorrect engine performance adjustments.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
An initial symptom of a failing oil pressure sensor is an inconsistent or inaccurate reading on the engine's oil pressure gauge. If left unaddressed, this can lead to the engine's warning system incorrectly indicating low oil pressure, or conversely, not warning of a genuine low-pressure condition. This poses a risk of engine damage due to inadequate lubrication or operating the engine under potentially harmful conditions.
Clean the threads of the sensor port thoroughly before installation to ensure a proper seal and prevent cross-threading. Avoid overtightening the sensor, as this can damage the sensor body or the engine block threads.
Inspect the engine oil and oil filter condition during replacement, as these are critical to maintaining proper oil pressure.
