This oil pressure switch was used on all Vanagons from 1983-1991. Its pressure ranges are .15-.35 BAR. It is located on the engine, driver's side, between the intake push rod tubes for cylinders 3 and 4 (left side of engine looking in from the rear). This switch is NORMALLY CLOSED, and OPENS between .15 and .35 BAR, which translates to 2-5 PSI.

It is the ONLY switch on '83-'85 models; one of two on '86-'91 models.

Oil pressure switches fixed the problem

My 91 Vanagon uses 2 of these. I replaced both and it fixed the lack of power while accelerating and oil light buzzing issue. This one goes under the engine on the driver side. The other, which is gray, goes below the water pump pulley.

Gowesty is a life saver for these vanagon!! Always making new items. Great about sharing there tech skills! The lower temp sensor works great! I would definitely recommend Gowesty to anyone with a vanagon! Thank you for all the help your business shares! Most of us are doing the work our selves now days,as most shops prioritize the newer easier jobs!

this appears to be of high quality; I'm in the process of finishing my upgrade to the cooling system. I bought to replace the current sensor while everything is apart, and I can get to it. I don't want to replace this on the road.

Easy Install

Need 24 mm deep socket. Just take off the cover and the torque spec is like 22 ft-lbs.

Works alright, easier to deal with than the original

I was hoping replacing this sensor would magically reveal that my low oil pressure problem was a non-problem, but it did not. But at least I know I've got a proper alarm and can move on to the next step of trouble shooting. This sensor is also much easier to install/remove than the chunky plastic brown one that was installed originally.

If in doubt, replace

Easy and cheap enough to know your oil buzzer is at least getting the right readings.

Works well. Purchased one from another supplier and it worked for about one month. No issues with this sensor

Great price

I needed this pressure switch because an old one was seeping oil at the terminal.
