Walker Products Engine Oil Pressure Switch P/N:256-1243

Keep an accurate eye on engine lubrication with the Walker Products Engine Oil Pressure Switch 256-1243 (also written 2561243). This OE-replacement switch is a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2002 Volkswagen Cabrio and 2002-2004 Volkswagen Jetta — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level applications. It monitors engine oil pressure and signals the driver or ECU when levels fall below safe operating thresholds, so a lubrication problem shows up early.

• Monitors Oil Pressure: Activates the dashboard warning light or feeds a signal to the engine control system when oil pressure drops below safe limits.
• OE Replacement Calibration: Built to match original specifications for pressure activation point, thread pitch, and electrical response.
• Exact OE Fit: Threads directly into the factory location using the original threads and connector — no modifications required.
• Engineered for Harsh Conditions: Made to resist high temperatures, oil exposure, and vibration in demanding engine environments.

Common signs this switch may need replacing include a flickering oil light, false warnings, or no signal under an actual low-pressure condition. If a failed pressure switch is the cause of those symptoms, this Walker unit replaces it as part of a scheduled service, drivability repair, or engine rebuild. Diagnose the cause of any oil-pressure warning before replacing parts.
