Checking process
   
–  Remove the oil pressure switch -F1- and thread it on to the tester.
–  Thread the tester on to the cylinder head, in the place for the oil pressure switch.
–  Connect the brown wire of the tester to earth (-).
–  Connect diode lamp -V.A.G 1527B- with auxiliary leads -V.A.G 1594A- or -V.A.G 1594C- to battery positive (+) and to the oil pressure switch.
–  If the diode lamp lights up, replace the oil pressure switch -F1-.
If the diode lamp does not light up:
–  Start the engine and slowly raise revs. Between 0.3..0.6 bar of overpressure the diode lamp should light up; otherwise replace the oil pressure switch.
–  Continue raising revs. At 2000 rpm and with oil temperature at 80 oC, oil pressure should be 2.0 bar, minimum.
At higher revs, oil pressure should not exceed 7.0 bar. If necessary, replace the oil pump cover with the relief valve.
