Walker Products Engine Oil Pressure Switch P/N:256-1092
Keep tabs on engine lubrication pressure with the Walker Products Engine Oil Pressure Switch 256-1032, an OE Replacement switch that monitors oil pressure and signals the dashboard warning light or ECU when levels fall below safe operating thresholds. It threads directly into the factory location using the original threads and connector, so it drops in for a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen models — including the 1998-2005 and 2012-2013 Volkswagen Beetle, 2009-2017 Volkswagen CC, 2000-2006 Audi A4 and A4 Quattro, and 2004-2009 Volkswagen Touareg. This part fits 57 applications; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full year-make-model list.
Signs this switch may need replacing include a flickering oil light, false warnings, or no signal under actual low-pressure conditions. If a failed switch is the cause, this unit replaces it. Installs with no modifications.
What does the Walker 256-1032 oil pressure switch do?

Will this switch fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit OE Replacement for 57 Audi and Volkswagen applications, including the Volkswagen Beetle, CC and Touareg and the Audi A4. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact year, make and model.
What are the signs of a failing oil pressure switch?
Common signs include a flickering oil light, false warnings, or no signal when oil pressure is actually low. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since low readings can have other sources.
Where does this switch install?
It threads directly into the factory location using the original threads and connector and connects to the existing wiring with no modifications required.
Does replacing this switch fix low oil pressure?
No. The switch reports pressure but does not create it. If a faulty switch is causing false or missing warnings, this replaces it; actual low oil pressure needs separate diagnosis.
