Subject:      oil pressure switch
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

couple questions.....my oil pressure light came on intermittently today upon
start up (85GL 1.9l). It didn't stay on but when it it was very bright or
very dim.  I looked at where the switch mounts to the engine and the rubber
boot that goes over the connection is cracked and dry.  Also, the wire it
self has had electrical tape wraped around it in places (from previous
owner). What I noticed when driving was that the led would be very bright
when I went through big puddles (lots of rain here today).  This leads me to
think it is shorting out??????  I found the right oil pressure switch at the
VW dealer but I also have to replace the rubber cover thing.......the VW
dealer is useless in this department, they said they need a part number
cause they can't find it on their microfische.  Sooooooooooooo........anyone
know the part number for the rubber cover
much appreciated,
Chad
