oil pressure sending units

[DurtieDubbin01]

Hey guys looking for some help i have my oil pressure light going off i wanna replace my sending units... could any one post some pics of where they are located in the engine bay and also which one is the low and high switch this is for an 92 jetta 8v 1.6 any info would help thanks!!

The low one is on the right side (drivers side of the car) of your head. Blue wire leads to it.

High one is just above your oil filter. Yellow wire leads to it.

That may be backwards, and it might be different in your car than mine, but you either get my questionable advice or some ******** telling you to buy a Bentley.

That being said, buy a Bentley.

if you look where the oil filter is screwed into (looking into the bay), you'll see a wire running to the flange. unplug it, thats the HIGH pressure sensor

now, looking at the engine, look to the drivers side of the head, you'll see another wire sticking out the side of the head. unplug it, and there you find the LOW pressure sensor.

To add to what's been said, the low pressure switch is usually brown or blue, while the high pressure one is white. Take a look here

You could also replace the low pressure switch by a dual pole sender from MK1 (I have one for sale), which will let you hook up an oil pressure gauge. Good thing to keep an eye on while driving
