Few questions regarding some parts

[CM690]

Over the weekend I'm planning on replacing a few parts on my Golf 1.4 'L'.

I changed the oil pump and one of the pressure sensors around 2-3weeks ago and although my oil light does come on its not as much as before (virtually all the time) now it only comes on under around 1,500-2,000rpm so I'm guessing its the 'other' pressure sensor that I need to change as I only changed the one. 

Here is a picture of my engine with the sensor highlighted in red. Does anyone know where any other oil pressure sensors are on my car?

And which one I need to buy, here is a list from GSF Car Parts.

Secondly, I changed my headlights to Mk4 style lights a while back and have noticed people flashing me. I've worked it out that one of my bulbs is flashing! When I stood in front of the car the other day I noticed it flickering, is this a sign of a dead bulb?

Do you know where I could pick one of these up? What bulb is this? Front Fog? :/ I dunno

Is this the bulb? 

Any help is greatly appreciated. This forum has helped me so much since I've owned my Golf!

That bulb looks to be the sidelight bulb but fitted with an LED bulb as opposed to the traditional W5W ones:

It also looks like there should be LEDs lit around the centre one?

With regards to the oil pressure - I had nightmares getting the correct oil pressure switch for mk Mk2 16v as GSF kept on supplying me with the wrong rated ones. Confirm a like for like sensor by removing the old one and reading off near the threaded section the range of pressure that particular sensor covers.

Just to be sure though, did you have to use the same pick up and clean it out or were you supplied with a new one? You may need to get an oil pressure guage on the car to confirm that its ok then possible try a new sensor. Cant confirm where the other sensor is though but hope the rest helps.

Thanks I'll take a look at some of those bulbs, they seem cheap enough. Yeah when the bulb flickers the LED's around the center one are the ones that are flickering.

I'm guessing the one I already did was the right sensor because its solved my light come on after 2,000rpm but I just needed to know where any other pressure sensors might be. Unless that's the only one Not sure.

I used the new pick up that was supplied with the new pump. I was thinking about a gauge but I thought the best place to start was the sensors just in case as they are pennys

The side light bulb should be a 501 i'd have thought

[boneybradley]

all vw's I have worked on had 2 oil pressure switches (1 for idle and the other for 2000+) although i can't help with location

and the bulb will be an led 501 type (try ebay)

[CM690]

No one seems to know the locations, Ever Google isn't helping :O

Yeah I've found some on ebay going pretty cheap thanks guys!

If its anything like an ABD, then the AEX's should be on the head. Doesn't have an oil cooler or anything, so there can't be any more places it could be.

EDIT:

Heres the pic from wagenstad


Its the top left, number 2.

Says its a white one, and looks like it might be on the front left of the block

By on the head, do you mean near the one I've already changed? Somewhere up there? Do you know roughly where abouts in relation to the one in the image or is it in a completely different place 

[trog_nfs]

On my old ABD, it was literally the other end of the head.

But the wagenstad pic makes it look like its on the block.

I'll take a look at both places, could you link me to the page showing the picture you linked with the numbers to each part. Cheers
