I finished the sensor relocation on my 2003 C5 today. I did this job about 2 years ago but I didn't install the extender. So, here we are again. (I bought the extender hose with fittings on Amazon for $99). I didn't want to disturb more than necessary and I didn't want to drill any holes. I did not remove anything except the plastic engine cover. Although it was a royal pain in the butt, I was able to disconnect the old sensor and pull it out. For me, the hardest part was threading the extender hose into the engine. I could not get the threads lined up while rotating the hose. Now, my oil pressure gage no longer acts like a windshield wiper. It was continuously slamming full scale and back to zero. Now it sits rock steady at 42 PSI at cold idle. If (when?) this new sensor fails, it will be very easy to replace it.
This is definitely a HACK JOB. I changed mine by the manual and removed the intake. It was easy. So many people are lazy and devalue cars by not doing the correct repair. My Corvette is pristine and many others are hacked up and worth less.
Duh! That’s why I put the word hack in the title. SMH. Your car is worth zero dollars more than mine due to this. When is the last time you pulled your wipers off to sell a car? Never. You’re the exact person I warned about in the beginning of the video lol.
@@badass1g@badass1g I don't understand the "wipers off to sell a car comment" This HACK job has been done over and over on TH-cam; why repost your version? I have done frame-off restorations, LS swaps, paint cars, and pinstripe, it just makes me sad to see people hack up a perfectly good car because they are either lazy or don't have a clue what they are doing. It's your car; hack away. I hope others don't continue to do this type of HACK job. My comment was for others to read not you. Sorry to step on a nerve, but I will refrain from any more comments.

Worked for me.
Love it! 👍👍👍
I've hole sawed access to fuel pumps under back seats on a few of my cars. It's not a 100 point Pebble Beach trailer queen.
1000%! 👍👍

Just gave me more of a reason to do it "the hacked" way... 😂
