    Oil pressure switches

    can anyone enlighten me as to which does what?

    As far as i can make out there are 3 oil pressure sensors / switches on the 7A but i'm guessing this is the same on all the IL5s

    * pressure sender for gauge (big "cotton reel" type)
    * mall brown switch
    * small white switch

    is that right or have a missed something?
    My issue is an occasional autocheck oil (level?) warning and a continuous low pressure reading from the gauge - max 3.5bar
    From what i've searched on here i think the pressure sender (cotton reel type) is causing both problems, but was considering replacing all of these sensors at the same time, especially as the little brown and white ones are next to nothing.

    But what do the little white and brown ones do / control?
    there is also a brown sensor on the oil pump housing itself - is that the oil temp sensor?

    Ones low pressure the other high pressure switch, for when the ignition is on, engine not running, must be >0.8 bar, engine running >1.8 bar, i thinks.

    Used by the Autocheck system.

      ah ok. thanks Carl.

      may as well replace them at the same time as the gauge pressure sender I suppose, they're not expensive I doubt the same can be said for the sender though... ringing for a price now....

                I'll try Pete.
                If not theres always the 'bay for a used one...
                I'd rather go through 4 used ones before I pay £45+ for a new one, just on principle!
