Well, after 73,000+ miles..My oil level sensor has given up the ghost! Sadly, My local dealer can't seem to find the part. All he comes up with is the oil pressure sender. He called another dealer in Dallas to ask someone there who is"the local crossfire expert"(according to him). After explaining to the expert what we were looking for, He said, "Ok,I'll tell him" and hangs up. Then he told me the sensor is part of the oil pan and I'd be looking at about $500.00 to get one.



I have an old part number but, I think it is either missing a prefix or possibly it has been superceded?? I gave the dealer this number and they said it's good. It's the only number I can find and now I just wish I could remember which pdf it's in so I can print it out and show it to them to prove I'm not nuts!

05101121AA Oil Level Sensor

 

If you take the 0 off the number here's what the part is and it was superseded 5189456AA

 

Try a Mercedes dealer it'll be cheaper, probably half the price.

From the Crossfire parts list.
05101121AA 1 S 29 EGX SENSOR, Oil Level
05080147AA 1 S 29 EGX SENDING UNIT, Temperature Gauge

The shop manual tells you how to take the unit out, so you obviously do not have to buy anything else.

 

Thanks to both of you! I don't know how the parts guy didn't know to drop the "0" !! Although, He'd never seen an SRT-6 before either..So I guess I should have known better!

I'll give a Mercedes dealer a try and see what happens. But it's at least a 2 hour drive for me to even get near one! Looks like I'll make a shopping list of anything and everything else I may need for the car and just get it all at once! Been putting off resealing the drivers side valve cover all summer..Was hoping for "cooler" weather. Oh well, My Crossfire has seemingly decided otherwise!

Thanks again!

 

Hi, the main Chrysler dealer gave me the number 05189456AA for the level sensor and a price of about £115 here in UK. Cant seem to find a Mercedes number although there must be one. Hope that helps.

 

parts.com has the sensor for 143$ plus shipping

 

who has the manual to replace this, or a pdf doc? I leave in two days on a 6 hr drive, dont wanna drive with this like this. any help would be appreciated

 

Go here and down load the 2004 Service Manual, go to section 9, page 672 and start wrenching.
