Oil Sensor Workshop

[Timbo]

Hi,

Same fault as many have had on my 2001 1.9 TDI 130 Sport, "Oil sensor workshop" with a flashing yellow oil can light that comes on for about 5 secs after the ignition is switched on. I assume it's a fault with the pressure sensor on the sump (oil level is fine), and it's due a service next week, so an ideal time to get it fixed.

My question is where to get the sensor from? I take it a genuine VAG part will be about 3 times the cost of an aftermarket one, but can anyone recommend where to go for it and what to ask for?

Thanks

Type your reg into http://www.eurocarparts.com/
and see how much.

Also, try this Russian site which gives the dealer part information in web page format: http://www.vagcat.com/epc/
You need to register, but it's free, and most dealer prices are on there, but in Euros.

Tried the euro parts link and it found my car ok, but a search for "oil pressure sensor" came up a blank!

Is it called something else?
