Walker Products Engine Oil Pressure Switch P/N:256-1002
Keep an eye on engine lubrication with the Walker Products Engine Oil Pressure Switch 256-1127, an OE-replacement switch that monitors engine oil pressure and signals the driver or ECU when it falls below safe operating thresholds. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1995 Volkswagen EuroVan, 1995-1998 Volkswagen Golf, 1995-1999 Volkswagen Jetta, 1995-1997 Audi A6, 1995-1997 Audi A6 Quattro, 1995-1997 Audi Cabriolet, 1996-1997 Audi A4, 1996-1997 Audi A4 Quattro, 1997-1999 Audi A8, and 1997-1999 Audi A8 Quattro — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Designed for exact OE fit, it threads into the factory location and connects to the existing wiring with no modifications. If a flickering oil light, false warnings, or no signal traces back to a failed switch, this replaces it during scheduled service, a drivability repair, or an engine rebuild.
What does this oil pressure switch do?
It monitors engine oil pressure and activates the dashboard warning light or sends a signal to the ECU when pressure falls below safe operating thresholds.
Will it fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit replacement for listed Audi A4, A4 Quattro, A6, A6 Quattro, A8, A8 Quattro, Cabriolet and Volkswagen EuroVan, Golf, and Jetta models. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
What are signs this switch may need replacing?
Common signs include an oil light that flickers, false warnings, or no signal under actual low-pressure conditions. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since low oil pressure can have other sources.
Where does it install?
It threads into the factory location using the original threads and connects to the existing wiring with no modifications required.
Does it meet OE specifications?
Yes, it's an OE-replacement switch calibrated to match original specs for pressure activation point, thread pitch, terminal type, and electrical response.
