	Hey folks got a corrado 1.8 16v. The oil pressure sender (i think) to the rear of the filter head is not connected, 2 wires free by it. If i connect the warning light flashes permenantly, if i disconnect wire the light goes out when engine starts but very occasionally, buzzer sounds and warning light comes on ( not engine rpm specific). Has any one got any help or advise and knowledge please. Not clock pack as just changed it and same on both.
	Low and slow Why can't i tune it?

	Sounds like a duff sensor to me.

	Most likely a duff sender. It's either that or the circuitry in dash and since you've ruled that out..... There's 2 senders in that system. 1 checks pressure at low revs and then if it doesn't get the right pressure from the other one at the right revs, the buzzer goes off. Had a similar problem on a Scirocco, solved it by removing the circuitry on the back of the clocks!

	It is the right colour sensor, yes? It should be white in the oil filter housing IIRC.. If its the wrong one, that would upset it I hate the VW DOPS, fine when it works, a pig when it dosn't. A mate of mine has it in a 1983 reg Mk2 GTI (yea, wierd) and it has gone off constantly for the last 2/3 years. He just fitted a louder exhaust to drown it out. Rich

	Well guy's thanks for your replies, bit of research has shown the switch that was fitted and the one i replaced it with were both wrong . Although white they were low pressure one's so i have got the 1.8 bar one tonight and will fit in the morning (also white ) Hope this may solve it although you would think it would have hit pressure earlier so still killed the light but i know these things are never how you would think. I will report back over the weekend for other folks future reference ;D
