Where is the oil pressure sensor located on the Volkswagen 1.4T engine?
1 Answers
The oil pressure sensor on the Volkswagen Sagitar 1.4T engine is located on the left side of the engine. Upon close inspection of the left side of the engine, you will be able to see it. The normal oil pressure range for a gasoline engine is 200kPa to 500kPa, while for a diesel engine it is 600kPa to 1000kPa. When the engine is idling, the oil pressure should not be lower than 100kPa. Additional information: Only when the oil pressure is within the normal range can the oil be effectively delivered to all parts of the engine. If the pressure is too high or too low, it will affect normal operation and may even cause damage to the engine. Causes of low oil pressure include excessive clearance in the crankshaft main bearings or connecting rod bearings, low oil viscosity, and a ruptured filter element. Low oil pressure can lead to insufficient lubrication of the engine, poor cooling and cleaning, and may cause adhesive wear of engine components.
