[Vwdiesel] Oil Leak Stripped Pressure Switch

[Val Christian]

A helicoil, and teflon tape.  Unfortunately, your threads are imperfect.
A helicoil will give you new threads.  If you're cheap like me, you might
get a brass pipefitting, tap it with a metric tap. and retap the head
mounting hole, slightly larger.  Allot of work but it will also work.
