I just bought this red, manual, 2000 c5 Corvette a couple weeks ago. It has only 56k on the odometer. It's been pretty solid, and I love it to death but it's got several minor issues that I'll be working on.
1. One of my bigger issues to fix is my oil pressure sending unit. My oil pressure gauge is pegged at 80 psi and I've heard that is a symptom of a bad sending unit.
2. Windshield wiper switch/fuse/relay or something. They only work on the fastest setting rn so that's not right.
3. My climate control display is blank
4. I may or may not need a new EVAP sensor or something like that. I keep getting a EVAP circuit fault code.
5. I need a new gear for my driver's side headlight assembly.
Any and all help with these issues would be fantastic!!!

Incredible looking car. Welcome. Looks brand new. Have you checked date codes on your tires?
There are many write ups on the oil pressure sending units on our early C5’s. (I have a 99)
Some say pull the intake, some say drill a hole in the valance under the windshield, some say you can fit small hands back there and change it. Do a web search. There is a detailed one by Junkman out there somewhere. The sending unit is located behind the intake manifold.
I can’t help you with the other items, but I assure you this is the right forum to get some answers!!!!
No I have not yet. They look relatively new ava have quite a bit of life left in them, but I do plan on changing out the wheels/tires later this summer so I'm not too worried about that
Great looking vette. For #2, you should check to see if the rain ducts (udders) are clean. If water overflows, it can get into the windshield wiper motor. There is a ton of info on this forum so you have come to the right place. Welcome!
