SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Instrument panel oil pressure gauge reads low.
DIAGNOSIS
Check the engine oil pressure with a mechanical test gauge and if the oil pressure is ok (above 12 psi at idle with the engine fully warmed up), the
instrument panel oil pressure gauge should be replaced.
PARTS REQUIRED
Oil pressure gauge
PN MB 803491
REPAIR PROCEDURE
Because a low gauge reading on some vehicles does not reflect the engine's actual oil pressure, a new oil pressure gauge which has improved accuracy at
both the high and the low end of the scale was introduced as a production running change in early December 1989.
