Does anyone know where I can buy an oil level sensor for my mk3 cav? I can't find anything for sale on line anywhere. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Can anyone help with this folks? I really am struggling to find a new part. Alternatively can the existing sensor be repaired? I doubt it but any suggestions are welcome!

Crisis solved. Just bought a second hand one on eBay that was posted this morning.

Apologies for late reply.

Assuming you have the old shape sensor (square shaped casting) as used on the 20XE and C20LET, then I have to agree that I can not find any new ones for sale anywhere.

Just to confirm part number - 90464009.

If it is the other style of sender with a round casting, then these are indeed still available.
Listed for X20XEV and C25XE.

Part numbers are -
90452192 at £55.50 from AutoVaux / GPS.
and
90504306 at £66.82 from AutoVaux / GPS.

I hope that helps someone.

For added info, the inner clamp / strengthening plate is the same for all sensors, so it "may" be possible to fit the round sensor in place of the square one. But I cannot guarantee it.

I recently fitted a new genuine round type sensor to my V6. As Rob has said they are available, I got mine on eBay.

Remember to get a new gasket for it as well as they don't come with the sensors and you have to buy them separately.

Good man James.
Yes mines is the old square sensor. I had to fork out £40 for a second hand one on eBay, which the seller guarantees is working. Hopefully that works out OK for me. And good luck with the new job, it can be a bit stressful starting afresh but it will all be worth it. More money to spend on your cavaliers!

Thanks Rob too,
I'll examine the old sensor closely on removal. Hope I don't need another anytime soon though!
