Hi where is the location of the oil pressure switch ??
Is it a hard job to do ?
Will I need to drain all oil ?

Many thanks in advance

Not sure about AC but the WBX has one between the pushrods LHS and one between the pulleys .. Bothe a cow to get to... And no need to drain oil... You should see a wire going to these places perhaps?

On top of the engine left of center, trace the wire from it.

Easy to do, you need a box spanner (about 35mm ish from memory) to clear the terminal.

No need to drain the oil.

Just behind the distributor.

Normally a 22 mm deep socket sometimes a 24 mm depending on who made the switch.
