Testing oil pressure switchF1 without removing
Testing oil pressure switch -F1- without removing
  Note
The oil pressure switch -F1- remains installed and only the screw plug of the oil duct at the left of the cylinder head, which is more easily accessible, is unscrewed.
Test preparations
–  Clean the surroundings and unscrew the screw plug of the oil duct at the left of the cylinder head.
–  Screw the connection of the oil pressure tester -V.A.G 1342- with positioned gasket into the threaded hole for the screw plug.
–  Close the hole for the oil pressure switch in the oil pressure tester by means of the removed screw plug of the oil duct with gasket.
–  Disconnect the plug from the oil pressure switch -F1- at the rear of the cylinder head.
Test oil pressure switch -F1-
–  Connect the voltage tester with the auxiliary cables from the measuring tool set to the oil pressure switch -F1- at the cylinder head and to battery positive (+).
l  The LED must not light up.
If the LED lights up:
–  Replace oil pressure switch -F1- → Chapter.
If the LED does not light up:
–  Start engine.
  Note
Observe the testing equipment and the LED while actuating the starter since the switching point of the oil pressure switch -F1- can already be reached when starting up.
l  At a pressure of 0.03...0.06 MPa (0.3...0.6 bar) the LED should light up.
If the LED does not light up:
–  Replace oil pressure switch -F1- → Chapter.
Testing oil pressure
–  Start engine.
l  Oil pressure when engine idling: at least 0,08 MPa (0,8 bar)
l  Oil pressure at 2000 rpm: min. 0,14 MPa (1,4 bar)
If the specified values are not reached, the oil pump is defective.
–  Replace oil pump:
t  Octavia II, Yeti → Chapter.
t  Superb II → Chapter.
l  Oil pressure at a higher engine speed: max. 0,52 MPa (5,2 bar)
If the specified value is exceeded, the pressure control valve in the oil pump is defective.
–  Replace oil pump:
t  Octavia II, Yeti → Chapter.
t  Superb II → Chapter.
  Note
t  After testing the oil pressure switch -F1- or after checking the oil pressure, remove the oil pressure tester -V.A.G 1342- and install the screw plug of the oil duct with a new gasket ring.
t  Tightening torque of plug is 14 Nm.
