Good To Know
Q: Is this sensor compatible with the Caterpillar 330D? A: Yes, the 40Mpa Sensor 260-2180 is intended for the 330D and other listed models, but check your machine's serial number to confirm precise fit.
Q: What happens if the sensor fails? A: A failed sensor can cause incorrect pressure readings or fault codes, so replacing it with this unit restores proper hydraulic monitoring.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
