Pegged oil pressure gauge...Help!

I have an '84 Carrera and the oil pressure gauge is pegged all the time. Key on...key off...running...not running...always pegged at 5 BAR.
I tried unplugging what I believe is the oil pressure sending unit and it had no effect.
The sending unit I unplugged was very easily accessed with the lid opened. It was located right on top of the engine slightly to the right side. Was this the right one?

What else can I try? New oil pressure gauge needed? Good used sources for oil pressure gauges? Can I replace just the pressure side of the gauge?

BTW, the oil level half of the gauge function perfectly.

HELP!
