[Vwdiesel] oil pressure sensors

[Dennis Pantazis]

greetings all:

oil pressure light flickers again. 85 1.6NA engine. comes on at startup, goes
out. flickers for a while goes out. lather rinse and repeat. if it means
anything, i traced lack of upshift light to the W terminal wire on the back of
the alternator coming loose. i reconnected it works (well it annoys me).  i also
had the valve cover off to change some valve shims. i am pretty sure that the
gasket is back on right and the cover is tight. after all this the oil pressure
light started acting up again

i have one on the left end of the head. bentley is fsck'd, it reads that the
1.4bar sensor is on the head and the 0.3 bar sensor is on the oil filter
bracket. the pictures and diagrams show the 1.4bar sensor on the oil fitler
bracket and the low pressure on the head. cheap oil pressure unit reads 25psi+
at idle, almost 75 at higer revs.

on the bracket for the oil filter there is a plug near the engine. in the port
closest to the radiator, there is a compression fitting going to the cheap
aftermarket oil pressure guage in the cabin.

i have new low and high pressure oil sensors. i want to put them both on AND use
the oil pressure guage. can i simply put the low pressure on the hole that is
plugged? bentley shows a pic of the turbo setup with and oil line coming out of
the currenly used hole, i assume feeding the turbo.

will this work?
