renandstimpey Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Can anyone point me in the direction of where this is positioned on the engine? I'm thinking it may be the little green coloured sensor on the front right side of the cylinder head, near where the coil pack is?I've got the dreaded flashing oil light on the dash, oil level is fine and there is no rough running/overheating issues at all....hopefully it's just the sensor, but I'm leaving it at home until I've changed it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubsy Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 your right its at the front of the engine on the right hand side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renandstimpey Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Nice one, thanks. Looking at it there doesn't appear to be any oil leak around it? Maybe it's just worn out after 61k....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW_LUPO 1 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 There don't have to be a leak. My pressure light used to flash, i changed the switch and light never came back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renandstimpey Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Ok, i'll keep my fingers crossed it's a dodgy sensor and not an oil pump on the way out! Now to find someone who sells the sensors.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
