That would work but it would be much easier for him to just unplug the ribbon cable from that board. Remove the cluster top cover to get to the back of the speedo housing and gently pull that plug out of the speedo case. Just leave everything else together so when he gets around to fixing it he won't have to take it all apart again. The whole concept is faulty as the oil warning system is important and should be fixed or at least made to always use the low rpm switch only. He does not understand how the system works or he would know that VW designed it so that leaving the 2 pin connector near the motor undone FORCES the high rpm oil switch to trigger the low oil pressure alarm. This was a smart design but confusing to some. Mark Chris DeLong wrote: > > REmove the instrument cluster. Remove the speedometer. Remove the back of > the speedometer.
