Bill: You have two oil pressure sensing switches. The low pressure switch (4.4) must open between 2.2 and 6.5 psi. It is located between cylinder 3 and 4 The other switch (13.1) must close between 10.9 and 14.8 psi. It is in the vicinity of the oil pump. The flashing LED is associated with the 4.4 sensor. The flashing LED and the buzzer occur with RPM>2000 and no switch closure from the 13.1 sensor. The contacts on the VDO sender are normally closed as are the 4.4 contacts. Oil pressure opens them i.e. lack of pressure allows them to close. The contacts on the 13.1 are normally open i.e. oil pressure forces them closed. That is why bad/dirty connections in that circuit cause false flashing LED/buzzer symptoms above 2000 RPMs. Drive Safely & Good Luck Ken Lewis<Kernersville,NC>86 VW crewcab;60 T-5 Coupe On Thu, 21 Oct 1999 21:11:08 -0700 Davidson <wdavidson@THEGRID.NET> writes: >Okay electrical techs... >I got set up with a VDO DUAL CONTACT Oil Pressure Sender and VDO oil >pressure gauge.
