Fwd: Oil Pressure Warning on Auto Check System '91 200 TQ

[Geraint Lloyd]

so according to SJM and the symptoms, then it's the
white 1.8 bar sender
since the autocheck only looks for this sender at over
2krpm.
my golf GTI has a cut down version of this with a
warning buzzer.
at least it's not going to be the 0.3 bar sender
that's built into the
gauge sender unit.

BTW

Which list is this thread on?
it seems to be on quattro and 20v
