Hi
I have a bit of an issue with the oil light on my GTI flashing
Just before i bough my car the previous owner replaced two oil pressure switches on the engine due to them leaking, he used VAG parts too, a black one and white one.
One sits on the oil filter housing closest to the block, The other is on the right hand side of the head near the front edge
I can remember which is where right now
The car runs and idles fine and i let the oil temp get up to around 80c. the oil light stays off, if i rev at all, even a tiny bit the light flashes, once back to idle the light goes off
So i used an oil pressure tester to check the pressure before i seized it up !
This pic is from the lower point on the filter housing
A smidge under 3.0bar, Pretty good pressure for a 145,000 mile engine
This is from the Cylinder head sensor hole
Still pretty good
So i was wondering whats going on
Is there another sensor i can replace
I tried to swap the sensors with each other incase he had got them mixed up but it makes no difference which hole they go in
I have also replaced my ECU due to another matter and this was a problem before and after so its not that either
Any ideas ?
