checking


Function of dynamic oil pressure warning
system

Warning lamp, checking
With engine switched off and ignition on (terminal
15 on), oil pressure warning lamp will be lit (not
for vehicles with Auto Check system).

Warning criteria

Engine switched off and oil pressure switch
closed.
Coolant temperature less than 60 C (140
F), engine speed higher than 300 RPM and
oil pressure switch open.

Coolant temperature greater than 60 C
(140 F).

At engine speeds greater than 5000 RPM,
an active oil warning won't be erased
independent of oil pressure switch setting.
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is

Oil pressure, checking

- Disconnect line from oil pressure switch.

If specified values are not obtained, the pressure relief valve or the oil
pump is faulty. - Remove oil pressure switch and install VAG1342 oil pressure tester.
- Install oil pressure switch into VAG1342 oil pressure tester.
- Start engine.
Engine oil temperature approximately 80 C (176 F). Oil pressure at idle: 1.0-3.5 bar (14.5-50.75 psi)Oil pressure at 3000 RPM: 5.0-7.0 bar (72.5-101.5 psi)
