This oil pressure switch was used only on 86-91 year models which were fitted with the "dynamic oil pressure warning system." Its pressure ranges are .75-1.05 BAR. It fits on rear of engine near oil pump, and is gray in color. This switch is NORMALLY OPEN, and CLOSES between .75 and 1.05 BAR, which translates to 11-15 psi.

NOTE: We have exhaustively tested all of the aftermarket switches on the market that we could get our hands on. We found the pressure ranges on the other aftermarket brands to be highly variable, and now exclusively carry Febi switches.

So far, so good! The oil pressure buzzer has stopped buzzing since we installed this switch. Love my 1989 Vanagon, Wolfsburg edition, that we purchased brand new in 1989.❤️

Good

Note:
I decided to replace mine because I kept getting an oil light and it appeared to be leaking out of the switch. I have yet to get it installed because I stripped it out when I put it in. So I am ordering a new one.

To get access to the plug take off the 3 bolts to the water pump pulley. 24 mm deep socket to take the plug off. It should be 22 foot lbs for the adapter to the engine then 18 foot lbs for the sensor into the adapter. My torque wrench wouldnt fit while torquing in the sensor so i guessed... leaving me with a broken sensor. TORQUE IT TO SPEC.

Good piece of mind

I don’t think mine were bad, but they weren’t that expensive and I wanted the piece of mind.

Go Westy saved the day!

My 87 Vanagon oil light came on, as well as the buzzer. I had a new original switch, put that in, same problem. I discovered Go Westy had an alternate switch, ordered it, put it in, problem solved! Thanks Go Westy!

Screwed right in! worked fine

Replaced the old switch. Switch fit as expected and my annoying intermittent buzzing went away. Used the GoWesty supplied 24mm socket for the removal install. Found the old switch was soaking wet with coolant, and well corroded from a coolant leak from the water pump. Replaced the water pump after finding this issue, so now to buzzing oil warning, and my coolant leak was discovered and later fixed. Happy with the product
