Can anyone advise me which oil pressure switch I need please, it's a two lead wire but I can't seem to find a two pronged pressure switch anywhere

The "jx" dosent normaly have a two pronged oil pressure switch,where on the engine is the switch?

Well the loom has two wires to the switch, the engine has been changed to a polo 1.6 td engine and that oil pressure switch has one prong. So I assume that the original lump had a two pronged sensor, it was still a 1.6 td.
The switch is on the top near the oil filter.
Thanks for the reply, it's much appreciated

They usually only have two terminals if the switch isn't earthed through the body ie the plastic housing type. Do you mean the original loom or a replacement one that has been grafted in? Check to see if one of the two leads that you have is an earth - if there is one, use the other one only.

Never seen a vw with anything other than 1 pin oil switches...what colour wires do you have? Yellow or blue/black are the oil monitor ones...

Thanks for replies, I'm a shift worker so will reply when I can. It look to me like the original loom and the two wires are one black with blue tracer and a solid yellow?!
At present neither are connected.
Kind regards

Right...the yellow wire goes to the oil switch [normaly open] on the oil filter stand,the blue/black wire goes to the oil switch [normaly closed] on the front of the cylinder head [above the heater hose fitting]

Thanks for this info, it really is appreciated. When I'm not in charge if the kids I shall get back out and have a look.
Hopefully I'll find where the wires go and this little niggle.... There's a few, will hopefully be bottomed out.
Kind regards
