Hi,
I have recently had a few stray oil pressure warning buzzers go off on my 95 passat VR6. The dealership checked the pressure and everything is up to spec... they said to change to a heavier oil and it would go away. I still get these warnings occasionally after a long drive.
Next, I checked the sensor on the oil filter housing. To my surprise, there was two sensors on the housing. One of them is leaking oil out the top at the connector... I am presuming that this could be causing a pressure drop and giving me these warnings. I know that the one on the left-most side of the car is an oil pressure sensor (it has a pressure spec on it)... Anyone agree?
What is the other sensor? Is it a temp sensor? It is this mysterious one that is leaking...
I hear that there is two sensors... Anyone know where the other is located?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
