Oil pressure warning light and annoying beep dont leave

Recommended Posts

ok so I have driven my corrado for about a year now and I used to be able to get rid of the oil pressure light by letting the revs drop, may sound wierd but true, well recently I have had the problem of the light and sound staying on even if I truned the car off and then back on again, whenever I jumped past the 2100 mark where it requires 20 PSI to not go off it goes off, I dont know where the leak is but I have a small oil leak somewhere in the car and the exhaust header seems to be getting some oil on it, headgasket was done about 1000 miles ago, retighten cover bolts? I had re attached a gas line that was loose and it started doing this I dunno sounds wierd to me. anywhere I can check that may be good would help a lot thanks. yes the light goes on inside the car so the switch is ok I think.

sounds to me like the pressure switch has died... There's 2 on the G60, one on the right side of the head (as you look from the front of the car) which is in a T piece on the oil-line to the supercharger. The other is on the oil filter head. They're both identical to look at except that the colour indicates the pressure they activate at. These shouldn't cost you too much from VW and may just sort out your problems... Oh, and they're easy to fit too, just unscrew the old one and then screw in the new one! 8)
