That is what I'm running too, and it has been working fine for me so far.

You might think about making a relocation kit for it just in case it goes out again, That way you can change it in 5 mins and don't have to cut up your car to make access, You would only have to remove the intake once and that is easy..

YOUTUBE has a video called; replacing oil sending unit on C5,,,Put out by O'Rielys Autoparts. (Shows that this procedures takes less than 20 min.) All it takes is; a ratchet, an extention, a socket, an a swivell to place on the end of your extention. I watched it, then proceeded to change my out myself. Saved myself hundreds of dollars. Believe you me, I'm certianly no mechanic.

Mine just quit on me yesterday at approx 93k miles. I took a look under the hood for it based on that YT video and couldn't even come close to seeing where it is. Crap.

Thanks for the tip and link - ordered it for local pickup so no shipping got 20% off plus I'll get a $50 coupon - great deal !!!!!
Thinking about picking up a battery too - mine is orig for my 04 so it's just a matter of time and with the 20% off the price is $70 - any opinions on their batteries
Thanks

I'm just going to bite the bullet and pay someone else to swap it out.

Thanks, but if I can't see it (like I could in the video, at least), then I probably can't touch it and I certainly don't want to screw around with trying to remove the clip with the wires without being able to see anything. I'm just going to bite the bullet and pay someone else to swap it out.

Took one look at your "02 Vert and can see why. Very Nice Ride. Very Nice Indeed!
