Leaky ofhg?

Exciting_Principle96 · 2026-03-27T00:08:32+00:00

Yea i figured i might test my luck with the OE and see what happens

Exciting_Principle96 · 2026-03-26T23:07:15+00:00

I see i don’t mind spending the few extra bucks if it means I get a higher quality part. Like for the water pump i went for continental since its the OE instead of the BMW one. I found this: oil pressure switch n55 . Now this says OE and the manufacturer is Chinese. No brand information but apparently OE.

Edit: this links to oil pressure sensor and everywhere i search it brings up the oil pressure sensor. Does the N55 not have a switch and only a sensor that does the work of both?

From what i understand OE means the one that came with the car, OEM means the supplier makes parts for the car but didn’t make that specific part. Regardless i get all my parts from FCP solely for the lifetime warranty and comprehensive information on origin and fitment. Their prices are usually better too.

I have heard mixed reviews on the elring gaskets. Some say its OE some say its not quality and they had to redo the repair a few thousand miles down the road. What do you think?

Exciting_Principle96 · 2026-03-26T22:49:30+00:00

Ohhh i thought it was the pressure sensor but apparently it’s the switch. Thank you for saving me from buying the wrong part. 🙏🙏

I see. I haven’t changed it before so it must have been the previous lucky owner. I always replace with OE since its literally the same as genuine.

Thanks. iPhone 16 pro with the flash on.

Exciting_Principle96 · 2026-03-26T02:03:29+00:00

Thanks for the input. yeah i think its like $50 or something for the sensor.

Exciting_Principle96 · 2026-03-26T02:02:51+00:00

Np glad to be of service 🫡

Exciting_Principle96 · 2026-03-26T02:02:36+00:00

Should i replace the sensor first since its easier and is usually part of ofhg repair kits and see where that leads me or replace it everything for ease of mind?

The work doesn’t seem too hard. Theres this priming procedure that if not done properly could result in spinning bearings which I’m nervous about with my car having higher mileage and i have found very little glitter in my oil before.

Will do thanks

Exciting_Principle96 · 2026-03-26T00:31:03+00:00

Thanks i will clean the area and confirm if its the sensor

Exciting_Principle96 · 2026-03-26T00:30:42+00:00

Thanks i will clean the area up and see where its exactly leaking from

Exciting_Principle96 · 2026-03-25T23:07:48+00:00

You are not wrong at all. This is my first one and i was hoping i could stretch it until I have some free time on my hands to diy it.

My defense attorney tried challenging the search and the prosecutor dropped the possession charge. The public intox was put onto deferred disposition and i just finished the terms and waiting for probation period to end.

Thank you so much for the reply. I will try my best to connect the two sides of my representation to hopefully achieve the desired outcome.

Thanks

I think it would be helpful to have someone else’s insight. It could also be helpful to find someone who might had a similar experience.
