Just seen a new one on ebay- Mine doesnt work (it reads oil level too high all the time). Would be nice to get it working again.
Cheers, Adam
Will a BX16 V Oil level sensor probe fit an 8V Carb engine?
Yes it will fit - but check simple things :
sensor cabling & connector.
The sensor itself is a pressure sensitive resistor element - should have some rather low ohmic value. On 16V's its located just above - and mid to the starter motor. My guess a real nightmare to access (item 7) :

On TU engines its located next to the oil filter.
All other XU types have it fitted rear on engine block.
1131 21 - OIL LEVEL PROBE - 17 turbodiesel
1131 51 - OIL LEVEL PROBE - TU
1131 52 - OIL LEVEL PROBE - 16V - 19TRS - 16TRS
1131 53 - OIL LEVEL PROBE - 17/19 TRD

Thanks guys, and thanks for the offer of that part sleepy. I would use the one from the GT engine but im pretty sure that had the same problem. I remember wondering what was wrong with it when I sat in the car and turned the ignition on-this was before I swapped the engines. Im pretty sure its not the wiring as its only one wire going to the probe and I remember checking this connection was all clean etc when I swapped the engines over. I also remember that the donor car read full when I collected it. I then checked the oil, and it hardly even touched the dipstick as it had all leaked out. I have sent you a PM. Regards, Adam
It wont fit sleepy - as it does not reach down the same lenght. Thats the reason why I submitted the list above - to avoid disappointments.sleepy0905 wrote:adam i have one of a 1.9 diesel which you can have if you want FOC
