Hey Scott.
My question:
Ignoring the fact that the wire obviously connects electrically to
this high pressure switch, did the VW factory (Hanover or wherever)
attach the wire running to the high pressure switch, to the body of
the switch? Like did it come this way from the factory?
I see David's logic. Makes sense.
In part I'm just curious, as it seems an odd way to do things (can't
easily get a socket over the part w/o harming the wire. One could
remove the wire at the 2 connector plug I guess), and, I'm trying to
determine if the engine is original. The wiring harness looks like it
was replaced; all white wires going to fuel injector plugs, cable
straps holding harness to engine bay metal, harness itself looks
"new".
The oil pressure switch wire is a minor detail, but given that there
may be a new wiring harness on this engine, I'm trying to nail down if
this engine actually has the same miles as the van itself.
Neil.
