VDO pressure sender

Postby Onex107 » Tue Jun 18, 2019 12:28 pm

Has anyone found a source for the 0-80 psi sender that costs less the $50? It's failing at 250 hours.

The MGL EFIS recommends 0-80 psi. and only take one wire to the panel. What's the three wires for on the Swift?

250 hours? Count yourself lucky - no very lucky. Buy another VDO.

onex 107, all,
the swift has 3 wires, +5v, gnd, and signal. john austin on the zenith site has a detailed posts on how to hook up the swift sender to MGL equipment. posts were last fall.
www.zenith.aero

hope this helps......
u could just buy another vdo for the same price, but expect it to fail again in about 200 hrs.
