Oil Pressure switches
Get them at the dealer and you will get the correct PSI(bar) rating. Wrong
switch=oil light flashing. To to the job you will need 1-oil pressure switch(s) some cars had 2 2-gasket for oil filter housing 3- 2 o-rings for oil cooler housing. I can do it in under 2 hours. But then again I been doing VW's for 33 years. It's not a hard job to do.

Oil Pressure switches
my message was about the oil pressure switch, i had brought my car to a
local garage and i know the owner of it, and he had one of his techs look at the car, and they said it was coming from the oil pressure switch and that usually the switches needed to be replaced. but i have two little screws on top of the oil filter housing itself, and i believe one is the oil pressure switch and then the other is a temp switch but not sure...the oil pressure switch has a little hole on the bottom of it am i correct?, and if not please tell me before i go and buy this new part because i do have to travel back and forth to school and work, and trust me not having a car to go to school and work SUCKS...so please help me and tell me which is the oil pressure switch and which isnt. thanks alot Matt 96PassatGLX |

They will likely be able to show you a picture of where it goes. You will also then have a new sensor and hopefully you will be able to compare that with what you are looking at (I am not sure you have found the sensor(s)) to see which if any is the original. You may need to do some more hunting to find it, but at least you will know what it looks like. You might also want to get a repair manual from the store for about $10-20. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

Oil Pressure switches
Remove the oil pressure switch and flip it over. You will see the psi(bar)
markings. You could see something like Hi pressure switch 1.4 +/- a number 1.8 +/- a number Low pressure is usually something like 0.6 switches also are different colors such as black, white, or brown and maybe a blue.
