Description
It's very important to know that your VW Kombi or Beetle has adequate oil pressure. Your oil light should come on when you turn your ignition to on and should go out when your engine is running. If your oil light doesn't come on with your ignition key in the on position you may have a fault with your wiring or your oil pressure switch. If the light comes on while the engine is running it's a good idea to connect a oil pressure gauge to your engine and read the oil pressure.
If you are satisfied your wiring is in order and you have adequate oil pressure but your light isn't coming on or is staying on we would suggest you replace your oil pressure switch. It's the easiest and cheapest thing to replace and rule out first.
This is the correct oil pressure switch for VW Beetles and Kombis with either an upright type 1 engine or a 1700 to 2L Type 4 engine.
Operates between 0.15 - 0.45 Bar.
