pressure switch. |
| – |
Screw oil pressure switch for reduced oil pressure -F378-
into hole in oil pressure tester -V.A.G 1342- to seal it. |
| Check oil pressure at idling and at 2000 rpm |
| Oil pressure at idling speed: at least 0.6 bar. |
| Minimum oil pressure at 2,000 rpm: 1.5 bar. |
| Check oil pressure at 3,800 rpm |
| – |
Remove electrical connection from oil pressure control valve
-N428-
→ Anchor. |
| – |
Increase engine revs to 3800 rpm and read off oil pressure
on the oil pressure tester -V.A.G 1342-. |
| Minimum oil pressure at 3800 rpm: 2.8 bar. |
| If specification is not attained: |
| – |
Connect electrical connection to oil pressure control valve
-N428-
→ Anchor. |
| – |
Interrogate the engine control unit event memory and delete
all event entries
→ Vehicle diagnostic tester. |
| – |
Check valve for oil pressure control -N428- with
→ vehicle diagnostic tester. |
 Note
| Mechanical damage, e.g. to bearings, could also be the cause
for oil pressure being too low. |
| – |
Renew oil pump
