[Mk2] [Turbo] oil warning light!

[luthor1]

...not working

where is the sender? If I unplug it should it light up or stay off?

I've changed the bulb over in the dash and it's not that... help anyone!

If it turns out you need a new sender/sensor I have one from my 1994 UK NA. Take yours out and have a look, they are dead easy to remove just 4x 10mm bolts and it pulls out of the sump. Dont forget to drain the oil first

I dont know if NA and turbo senders are compatible, i dont see why they shouldnt be but best check on the forum. Here is a pic:



PM me if interested

Assuming you are talking about the tubby (as your "car" states rev2 turbo) it doesn't have the oil level sender that Doc is refering to.

It only has a pressure switch, which is located in the cylinder head. Standing on the passengers side looking at the engine, it's a couple of inches towards the front of the car from the distributor. You'll need a 27mm deep reach socket to remove it.

RE whether it stays on or goes off when the plug is removed, I don't know for certain I'm afraid. I can only "guess" that the light would come on as a fail safe if the plug were to accidentally come off.
