Check the oil pressure and oil pressure switchF1
   
Check the oil pressure and oil pressure switch -F1-
Special tools and workshop equipment required
t  Oil pressure tester -VAG 1342-
t  Pressure tester -VAG 1527B-
t  Auxiliary cable kit -VAG 1594C-

Test conditions:
Engine oil level OK; checking → Fig.
Engine oil temperature: at least 80 °C (the cooler fan must have run once)
The oil pressure indicator lamp must light up when the ignition is switched on for approx. 3 seconds.
   
Checking sequence
–  Remove central soundproofing -Anchorage points 1 ... 3-.
  A10-1565
–  Remove the oil pressure switch -F1- of 1.4 bar -A- and screw onto the tester.
–  Screw the tester into the oil filter bracket, in place of theoil pressure switch. -F1-
–  Connect brown wire of tester to earth (-).
–  Connect the voltage tester -VAG 1527B- with the auxiliary cables of the auxiliary measurement set -VAG 1594C- to the battery positive (+) and the oil pressure switch -F1--A-. The diode should not light.
–  If the LED lights up, renew the 1.4 bar oil pressure switch -F1-.
If the LED does not light up:
–  Make the engine run at high speed: The LED must light-up when an overpressure between 1.2 ... 1.6 bar a luminous diode should light up. If not, replace the oil pressure switch -F1-
t  Oil pressure at engine idle: min. 2 bar.
–  Increase engine speed further. At 2000 rpm and with the oil temperature at 80 °C, the oil pressure should be between 2.7 ... 4.5 bar.
If the specifications are not obtained
–  Check the breather tube strainer → Item
–  Correct mechanical damage (e.g. damage to bearings).
–  If necessary, replace the air filter bracket with pressure relief valve → Item, or the oil pump with balance shaft assembly → Item.
At higher engine speeds, the oil pressure must not exceed 7.0 bar.
If specification is exceeded:
–  Check oil channels.
–  If necessary, replace oil filter bracket with pressure relief valve → Item.
