M20 x 1.5 refers to the metric thread specification. 'M20' indicates the major diameter of the thread is 20 millimeters, and '1.5' indicates the pitch, meaning there are 1.5 millimeters between the crests of the threads.
Symptoms include an oil warning light that is on constantly, an oil level indicator that fluctuates erratically, or a message on the dashboard indicating an oil level fault. If you suspect an issue, it's best to have it diagnosed by a professional.
While the thread size and dimensions are specified, exact fitment depends on the vehicle's original design and mounting location. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model and year before purchasing.
OE-quality parts, like those from Febi Bilstein, are manufactured to meet the same standards as the original parts installed by the vehicle manufacturer. This ensures proper fit, function, and reliability, often surpassing the quality of aftermarket alternatives.
Febi Bilstein generally offers a warranty on their parts. Specific warranty details should be confirmed with the retailer at the time of purchase, as terms can vary.
Installation typically requires basic mechanical knowledge, tools, and the ability to safely lift and work under a vehicle. If you are not experienced with automotive repairs, it is recommended to have a qualified mechanic perform the installation.
Double-check the electrical connector is securely attached and free from corrosion. Verify the sensor is correctly seated with appropriate torque. Ensure the correct type and amount of engine oil have been added. Confirm vehicle compatibility once more.
The sensor may not be tightened correctly. Remove and re-install the sensor, ensuring the sealing surface is clean and the correct torque is applied as per the vehicle's service manual. If the seal is damaged, a new seal or sensor may be required.
The issue might not be the sensor itself, or there may be another fault in the system. Scan the vehicle's diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) to identify any related or unrelated issues. Consult a professional mechanic if the problem persists.
Compatibility Verification: Before installation, it is crucial to verify that this Febi Bilstein Engine Oil Level Sensor (part number 104863) is correct for your specific vehicle make, model, and year. Check the sensor's dimensions (228 mm length, M20 x 1.5 thread, 2 connectors) against your vehicle's existing sensor or the manufacturer's specifications.
Installation: Installation typically involves safely lifting and supporting the vehicle, draining the engine oil, and carefully removing the old sensor from the oil pan. The new sensor should be installed with the correct torque to avoid damaging the threads or the oil pan. Reconnect the electrical connector and refill the engine with the appropriate type and quantity of oil. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for detailed installation procedures.
Care: Engine oil level sensors are generally maintenance-free. However, ensuring the engine oil is changed at recommended intervals with the correct oil type will help prolong the life of all engine components, including the oil level sensor. Keep the electrical connector clean and free of corrosion.
