Which Colour oil preasure switch do i need for 1.6 td jx having trouble with intermitent buzzer thanks.

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.. ?

Both 1.6 turbo diesel 1990

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.

Im surprised none of the diesel boys have not answered this
comeraderie failure

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

The one near the filter on a JX is White.

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

is this the same for my ky?

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

The man at brickwerks suggested the grey one for me so we'll wait and see
