Henny 0 Posted November 21, 2003 There's a load of sensors on the gearbox end of the head on a KR (1.8 16V) engine. It's possible that one of these has lost it's wire, become faulty or that the terminal has snapped off one of them :roll: It's also possible, as andycowuk says, that the oil pump's gone... :shock: Check the sensors first... I'll have a look at my KR haynes manual (passat!) when I get home and let you know which sensors you should be looking for... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 21, 2003 Check the top sensor on the oil filter housing, if it's seeping oil, it's gone. Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
