V17-0469
  • ‒ → Remove 0.3 bar oil pressure switch (brown insulation) and screw into tester.
  • ‒ Screw tester into cylinder head in place of the oil pressure switch.
  • ‒ Connect the brown wire from the tester to earth (-).
  • ‒ Conect LED Test Lamp V.A.G 1527, with auxiliary wires from V.A.G 1594 to the positive pole (+) of the battery and 0.3 bar oil pressure switch (in tester) -A-. The LED should light up.
  • ‒ Start engine and gradually increase rpm.

At a pressure of 0.15...0.45 bar the LED must go out, otherwise replace oil pressure switch

  • ‒ Connect the LED Test Lamp With 1.8 bar oil pressure switch (white insulation, on oil filter bracket) -B-
    The LED must light up at a pressure of 1.6...2.0 bar, otherwise renew oil pressure switch.
  • ‒ Increase engine rpm further.
    At 2000 rpm and 80 °C oil temperature the oil pressure should be at least 2.0 bar.
  • ‒ At higher rpm the oil pump cover with pressure must not exceed 7.0 bar.
    If necessary, renew oil pump cover with pressure relief valve.
