hi, i'm going to see a mk1 gti tomorrow and the seller says that the oil pressure light comes on..i've heard it could be a sender issue?
Could someone post a pic showing the location of the pressue sender on the car?
Just so i know where to look..
Thanks in advance!

it should have two switches, one at the rear of the cylinder head and the other near the oilfilter ....

yeah, main pump pressure sensor is on the oil filter housing just above the filter its self, below the coolant pipe going into the front of the head. Then there's a secondary sensor on the head.
Do you know when the light's coming on? If it's only when warm and at low revs, then it's probably not a sensor or electrical issue.

Hi thanks very much! the seller said that when she topped up the oil (to the max level on the dipstick) there was a 'pop' when she started the car, and some oil was squirting out. The dash light was on.and engine was cold I'm thinking its either a blown diaphram in the sender unit leaking oil, or possibly the filter seal has blown? |
