Oil pressure and oil pressure switch,
checking


Function of dynamic oil pressure warning
system

Warning lamp, checking
With engine switched off and ignition on (terminal
15 on), oil pressure warning lamp will be lit (not
for vehicles with Auto Check system).

Warning criteria

Engine switched off and oil pressure switch
closed.
Coolant temperature less than 60 C (140
F), engine speed higher than 300 RPM and
oil pressure switch open.

Coolant temperature greater than 60 C
(140 F).

At engine speeds greater than 5000 RPM,
an active oil warning won't be erased
independent of oil pressure switch setting.
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is
recognized when oil pressure switch is open

Oil pressure switch, checking

- Disconnect line from oil pressure switch.

Note:
While starting engine, watch pressure tester and LED as oil pressure
switch may open during start. - Remove oil pressure switch and install VAG1342 oil pressure tester.
- Install oil pressure switch into VAG1342 oil pressure tester.
- Connect brown wire -1- of tester to Ground (GND).
- Using VAG1594 adapter, connect VAG1527B voltage tester to oil
pressure switch and Battery Positive Voltage (B+).
LED must not be lit.
- If LED is lit, replace oil pressure switch.
- Start engine.
At 1.2-1.6 bar (17.4-23.2 psi) LED must be lit.
- If LED does not light, replace oil pressure switch.

Oil pressure, checking

- Disconnect line from oil pressure switch.

If specified values are not obtained, the pressure relief valve or the oil
pump is faulty. - Remove oil pressure switch and install VAG1342 oil pressure tester.
- Install oil pressure switch into VAG1342 oil pressure tester.
- Start engine.
Engine oil temperature approximately 80 C (176 F). Oil pressure at idle: 1.0-3.5 bar (14.5-50.75 psi)Oil pressure at 3000 RPM: 5.0-7.0 bar (72.5-101.5 psi)

Select the viscosity according to the chart shown. The oil does not need
to be changed if the outside temperature only briefly exceeds the
specified ranges.
The specifications stated on these pages must be indicated on the
container either individually or in combination with other specifications. 1) This VW specification must have a date of 10/91 or later. 2) These oils may only be used in exceptional cases if no approved
engine oil is available.
Mixing oils when topping up is permissible. A - Multi-grade oil, specification VW 500 00
