RE: Dual oil pressure sender woes

[Jonas Karlsson <jkarlsso@metabolex.com>]

The WK terminal on the dual sender is usually for the LOW pressure 
warning system. 

16v or 8v?
 
On the 8v, the switch you want to replace is on the cylinder head. 
On the 16v, both switches (I think) are on the oil filter flange. Make 
sure you get the right one.
