Thing is what pressure switch do you want?
some companies have different colours
Is your engine a turbo diesel?

there are two switches.. one on the filter and one on the engine, do you want both.. ?

To jump in on this thread my pressure switch (the one by the oil filter) is leaking. Struggling to work out which colour this is. Any help is welcome

My van has a 1.7 diesel.

The one on the oil filter housing is usually grey and is set at 1.8bar
The one on the side of the head is usually blue and is set at 0.3bar

good call, colours do vary depending on supplier but the switching pressures I quoted are correct

1.8bar: http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/shop?page=s ... ory_id=109
0.3bar: http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/shop?page=s ... ory_id=109 *actually 0.25bar quoted but good enough

Yes, I would have thought same applied for all diesels, was true on my 1.6CS-N/A and on my 1.9AAZ-TD, and my 1.9-1Z-TDI. if you have a wiring diagram for your van then it'll likely say the rating for each oil pressure switch on there aswel
