VDO Pressure Sender - 80 PSI

The VDO Pressure Sender – 80 PSI (MPN 360-801) is a precision fluid pressure transducer designed for accurate real-time monitoring of engine oil, fuel, coolant, or transmission pressures in automotive applications. Built by VDO, a trusted name in OEM and aftermarket instrumentation, this sender converts mechanical pressure into an electrical signal that displays on compatible gauges or engine management systems. Whether you're building a custom engine harness, upgrading your gauge cluster, or diagnosing pressure anomalies in a modified vehicle, this sender delivers the reliability required for critical engine monitoring.

This pressure sender operates on an Ohm-Type variable resistance principle, generating an electrical output proportional to fluid pressure up to 80 PSI—a standard operating range for most street and mild performance engines. The compact design (5 x 1 x 8 inches) allows flexible mounting in tight engine bay spaces, and the lightweight construction (0.3 lbs) minimizes installation burden. VDO's sealed sensor element resists contamination and thermal shock, ensuring consistent readings across temperature fluctuations common in high-performance driving.

Mechanics and engine builders rely on VDO senders when retrofitting vintage vehicles with modern instrumentation or when monitoring multiple fluid pressures. The sender features industry-standard 1/8 NPT or M14x2 thread options, and it is essential to verify fitment with most custom gauge installations and factory-style sender bosses found on aluminum or iron engine blocks. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for both OEM replacements and custom gauge installations.
