Function of dynamic oil pressure warning system 

The oil pressure switch is open at no pressure and closes when the switch pressure is reached. 

The oil pressure is activated approx. 10 seconds after switching the ignition on ("terminal 15 on"). 

Switch-on delay for oil pressure warning: approx. 3 seconds 

Switch-off delay for oil pressure warning: approx. 5 seconds 

Checking warning lamp 

After switching on the ignition when the engine is not running, the oil pressure warning lamp in the instrument 
cluster must light up for approx. 3 seconds and go out again. The check is terminated if the engine is running. 

Criteria for warning 

The optical oil pressure warning switches on (the oil pressure warning lamp flashes) and the buzzer sounds 
three times for audible warning under one of the following conditions. 

z

"Ignition on", engine at rest, oil pressure switch closed  

z

Engine speed higher than 1500 RPM, oil pressure switch open  

At an engine speed greater than 5000 RPM the oil pressure warning is not erased; even when the oil pressure 
switch is closed. Oil pressure warning goes out below 5000 RPM. 

If the oil pressure switch is open (engine revs greater than 1500) for 0.5... 3 seconds, this is stored in the 
processor of the instrument cluster. If this condition happens three times while the engine is running, the oil 
pressure warning is immediately triggered and remains on, even below 1500 RPM. The oil pressure warning 
goes out when the oil pressure switch is closed for longer than 5 seconds when engine revolutions are greater 
than 1500 RPM or the ignition is switched off. 

Requirements 

z

Engine oil level OK, checking. See Dipstick Marks (Engine codes AEG, AVH, AZG, BEV)  

z

Oil pressure warning light -K3- must light up for approx. 3 seconds when ignition is switched on  

z

Engine oil temperature at least 80 °C (coolant fan must have run once) 

Work sequence 

NOTE:

Functional check and servicing the optical and acoustic oil pressure 
warning:

z

Screw tester into oil filter bracket in place of oil pressure switch.  

z

Connect brown wire of tester to Ground (-).  

z

Connect diode test lamp V.A.G 1527 B using auxiliary cables from V.A.G 1594 A to battery positive (+) 
and oil pressure switch. 

LED must not light up 

If the LED lights up: 

z

Replace 1.4 bar Oil pressure switch -F1-.  

If the LED does not light up: 

z

Start engine and increase revolutions slowly. 

At 1.2...1.6 bar LED must light up 

If the LED does not light up: 

z

Replace oil pressure switch.  

z

Increase engine speed further. 

At 2000 RPM and an oil temperature of 80 °C oil pressure should be between 2.7... 4.5 bar 

At higher engine speeds the oil pressure must not exceed 7.0 bar 

If the specifications are not attained:

z

Correct mechanical damage, e.g. bearing damage.  

z

Check O-ring of sealing plug for damage. See PRE-TENSIONING CHAIN TENSIONER , item - 13 -. 

z

Replace oil filter bracket with pressure relief valve. See Fig. 139 , item -14 - or (for engine code BDC, 
BGD) oil pump with balancer shaft gear assembly.  

If no failure was found: 

z

Replace engine pump  

If the specification is exceeded: 

z

Check oil galleries.  

z

If necessary, replace oil filter bracket with pressure relief valve. See Fig. 139 , item -14-.
