Defcon5 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Probably the pressure switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoid Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yer I'm hoping so and think so and it sounds and runs fine. Shame it's 24mm, as the biggest spanner I got it 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoid Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Might have to go to Cromwell to buy a 24mm spanner. When I take it off what am I to expect, some oil to leak out? never taken one off before so no idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoid Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Got it off in the end, but VW can't get one in until Monday, doh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Had the same happen to me. Old pressure swtich was pissing oil out of the conector.A bit of oil leaking out when it's taken out is to be expected.Got one from GSF parts, old one off, new one in and no more oil light.I also cleaned the plug out abit as it had oil in it from the switch leaking.

danoid Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Finally got our new switch from VW, so will be fitting that saturday along with an oil change + filter (the filter we've never been able to get off with various tools in the past, except I was bored the other day and wanted ot try my new socket set, put a 30 on the tip of the filter and it budged, woohoo)But now need ot put old pressure switch back in, go for a drive to heat the oil then swap etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
