Poking around in the engine compartment I found a gauge I've never seen and didn't know it was there. It is on the back side of the hydraulic pressure controller--if I have that named wrong feel free to correct. There is no way to read it without using a flashlight & a mirror. My coach has been sitting for four months and it is above 2000 psi--maybe not working? Any one familiar with this?

We recently discussed the hydraulic pressure gauge on this thread. I left Mexico yesterday and was about 175 miles south of the border when I stopped for coffee. I found oil covering my car and the bottom of the coach engine. I soon found that the hydraulic pressure gauge was leaking oil. Ok, now what do I do? I took it off and noted that the glass was broken and the face was damaged. However, there is a small hole in the back to measure the pressure. A drop of super glue and a tooth pick saved the day. Ample time now to find a plug.

Good repair Chester!
It will probably take a 1/4" NPT plug. Any hardware store will have one, use black iron. Do not use galvanized, it won't stand the pressure.

Thats great Chester!! Its amazing what you can do with a little thought and ingenuity!!

If anyone is interested, the thread for a plug is a metric 8 .10 with a neapream "O" ring. In the long run, I think a plug will be better that a tooth pick.

Metric? with an o-ring. Interesting! Mine is already plugged but it might be a good idea for others who still have the gauge to buy a plug just in case.

    Can somebody tell me what this is for? My service center took it off today and sent a picture to Newell and they couldn't identify it. It appears to be some sort of sensor and it was dripping some oil. They put a plug in where it came out and all the warning lights on the dash went out when it was started.
