Re: dual sender question

["Kenneth Folkman Jr." <mk1madness@hotmail.com>]

Did you replace the correct sender?  VWs use 2 oil pressure senders, one
turns the light on when it's grounded the other turns the light on when it's
an open circuit.  On the 8v one is on the head, the other is by the oil
filter, I think it's different on the 16v though.  Not sure which one the
Audi sender uses, but try switching it with the other oil sender and see if
that works.
