No, only the normal and traditional single OP switch - or at least how they are always wired in a pre-86 vanagon. ( forget what van he has right now ) AAZ's do have two OP switches, ( second one is usually not used in most conversions ) But they use reverse logic from each other. A traditional OP switch supplies ground if there is no pressure. The 'other' one - the high rpm/hi pressure one uses reverse logic from that - it supplies ground when there IS oil pressure. So you can't swap 'em as a test. Good thought though- What I mostly use as a diagnostic strategy is 'substitute and bypass." As you are suggesting here. Scott www.turbovans.com

Are there two oil pressure senders on the 1.9? If so, are they the same and could they be swapped to see if there's a difference? Neil.
