What is the oil pressure channel number for the Passat?

[DiEleanor]

Passat oil pressure channel number is data stream group 140. Introduction to engine oil: Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption for the engine. Precautions for using engine oil: Engine oil selection should be based on the engine's requirements, choosing oil that matches the engine specifications. Multi-grade oil is recommended as it offers advantages such as fuel efficiency, extended service life, and high performance, providing superior protection for the engine. The oil level should be slightly below the mark on the dipstick and not overfilled.

A friend asked me about the Passat's oil pressure channel number the other day. There isn't a fixed number for this—it depends on which generation your car is and which engine it uses. For example, the channel numbers differ between the older B5 and the latest B8 models. I've seen numbers like 130 and 106, and even decimal ones like 142.2. If you're checking it yourself, I recommend first pulling the VIN to find the corresponding repair manual, or going to a repair shop to connect the ODIS system and read the data blocks in the engine control unit. The key is understanding how the system is partitioned—sometimes oil pressure data is displayed in the same group as cooling system parameters.

The oil pressure channel number is essentially a query path code in the diagnostic tool. Passat owners are strongly advised not to randomly guess and test numbers, as there are significant differences between model years—pre-2017 EA888 Gen3 engines commonly use channel 106, while some post-2018 facelift models switched to channel 130. For accurate verification, either connect to the Volkswagen factory VAS5054 device and use the guided function for automatic matching, or refer to the vehicle's circuit diagram to identify the pin definitions of the engine control module connector and deduce accordingly. It's best to regularly check the oil level, as pressure abnormalities usually trigger a yellow warning light first.

The oil pressure channel number for the Passat depends on the specific configuration: the EA211 engine is generally in channel 01-08-106, while the third-generation EA888 engine is mostly in channel 01-08-130. However, there are two key points to note during actual measurement: first, the normal value at idle should be between 1.4~3.5 bar, and second, the pressure will be higher when the engine is cold just after starting. If you're using a 5053 cable to read the data stream in the engine module, remember to check the oil pressure option in the basic settings. Some models also require comprehensive judgment with coolant temperature sensor data. Don't just focus on the numbers—if the oil can light on the dashboard comes on, you must check it immediately.
