Oil pressure help please, 1Z\AHU
« on: September 11, 2008, 08:54:38 am »
Hi, I'm having some difficulties trying to figure out, wich oilpressure\indicators I have to use in my tdi engine, the oil lamp is lighting up in the speedo, and so far I've found out, it's one of the two indicators that dosent work, but I don't know which bar\color goes where.. in the head and the block? How many BAR should they go to, and what color do they eventually have? I belive the one in the head is gray, and the one in the block is black.. but I also need to know the bar's :\

- hope this is correct:

Code: [Select]

color        pressure (bars)
---------------------------
white         1.8
black         1.4
grey          0.9
brown         0.3
blue          0.25


blue (and possibly brown) sensors go to the head and the grey goes to the oil filter. White and possibly black sensors are for non diesel engines - I guess that is the turbo which makes the difference in oil pressure.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
