[s-cars] failed oil pressure switch

[Mike Fitton]

Weird.  Never ran across that one in my years of VW travels.  It's not 
coming out too fast and I don't have any great distances to travel 
before Thursday, but if it looks like the new one isn't going to get 
here before the end of this short business week, I'll run down to Lowe's 
Racing and spend a few bucks of this pretend bonus of a gift card I just 
got.

I ran the engine briefly with the wire unplugged and it didn't seem to 
care.  Wasn't long enough to see any autocheck warnings though.  I bet 
that's the extent of its influence.

-Cheers!
Mike
