Walker Products Engine Oil Pressure Switch P/N:256-1022
Keep an early eye on engine lubrication with the Walker Products Engine Oil Pressure Switch 256-1267 (also written 2561267), a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2011 Volkswagen Jetta. This OE-replacement switch monitors engine oil pressure and signals the ECU or dashboard warning lamp when pressure falls below safe operating thresholds, giving you a heads-up about a low-oil condition before it turns into a bigger problem.
If a faulty original switch is behind a flickering oil light, false warnings, or no signal under actual low-pressure conditions, this unit replaces it and restores proper pressure-monitoring function.
See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment details and to confirm the correct application for your vehicle.
