Hi there

could anyone advise me bar pressure switch I need as the dealer is showing 4 options, the one I have picked up is 0.15 to 0.35 pressure switch, us this correct for my car, looks completely different from the one I'm changing it for in size terms.

Thank you

depends which switch you need to replace! blue or brown is for the low pressure 0.3bar, white is 1.8 bar high pressure
