Checking oil pressure and oil pressure switch
   
Checking oil pressure and oil pressure switch
Special tools and workshop equipment required
t  Oil pressure tester -V.A.G 1342-
t  Voltage tester -V.A.G 1527B-
t  Auxiliary measuring set -V.A.G 1594C-
t  Jointed wrench 24 mm -T40175-

Prerequisites:
l  Engine oil level OK.
l  Engine oil temperature at least 80 °C (radiator fan must have run once)
  Note
Functional check and repair of the optical and acoustic oil pressure display: Current flow diagrams → Vehicle diagnostic tester„Functions and component selection“.
Test procedure
l  Specified torque → Item.
   
–  Remove oil pressure switch -F1- and screw into tester.
–  Screw tester into oil filter bracket in place of oil pressure switch.
–  Connect brown wire of tester to earth (-).
–  Connect voltage tester -V.A.G 1527B- to battery positive (+) and oil pressure switch using cables from auxiliary measuring set -V.A.G 1594C-. LED must not light up.
–  If the LED lights up, renew 1.4 bar oil pressure switch -F1-.
If LED does not light up:
–  Start engine and increase engine speed. At 1.2…1.6 bar, the LED must light up, otherwise renew oil pressure switch.
–  Increase engine speed further. At 2000 rpm and an oil temperature of 80°C, the oil pressure should be between 2.7…4.5 bar.
At higher engine speeds, the oil pressure must not exceed 7.0 bar.
If specification is not attained:
–  Check strainer in oil suction pipe for contamination/soiling → Item.
  Note
Mechanical damage, e.g. to bearings, could also be the cause for oil pressure being too low.
If no fault is found:
–  Renew oil pump → Chapter.
If the specification is exceeded:
–  Check oil channels.
