[urq] Oil Pressure Switch

Recently I get the "please check oil level" voice-warning and idiot-light when engine is warmed up. Oil level is fine  and first suspect is the switch and second, the control relay.

Problem is my switch is the 'big' alu 2-pin type with one connector attached, but according to ETKA, it should be a 1.8 BAR white 1-pin switch (WR-GV) P/N 056 919 081 E and I'm not sure it was there on the 'old' engine before the rebuild.

So how does one check the oil presure switch? If the dash warning light is on, simply disconnecting the connector does not set it off, perhaps the "check oil level" warning is triggered from a different sensor?

BTW is the oil pressure relay the same from the KV engined Coupe GT's? I have one of those as spare.

Thanks.
