VICTORY!

Turns out that Ye Olde 1-1/16" socket is the correct size.

I'll be thanking GM for going to this size in '87 and sticking to it.  Odd to be thanking them...

That screen filter is VERY important for the DOD system to keep the solenoids from eating chunks and then breaking lifters.

No debris in mine, but it's cheap insurance to replace it.

Until parts arrive, the old sender is back in the hole to keep bugs out.

  1. Is the filter screen under the pressure sensor or is it one of those change while you're in the vicinity items?

    1. The filter screen is in the hole the sensor threads into and is a "as long as you're here" items.

      It's good to check it for debris and at least clean it while you're there. I'm replacing with a new one.

  2. Haw! That is 27 MM for you outside of the USA. Wanna bet the furriners all have that in their shop manuals?
    Hum, come to think of it, does anyone even publish print manuals any longer? I always run into "you too can subscribe to access the manuals online for only $500/year" or some such. Or worse "buy our VAG official VW fault analyzer machine for $$$$$$ or Euro equivalent, etc."
