Hi guys, I'm new to the forum so hello everyone
I drive a 2004 1.9TDI Toledo. Yesterday after a long motorway journey and just after i got off the ramp and slowed down the oil pressure warning light started to flash red and a buzzer sounded a few times. Terrified I had killed my car, I pulled over and then all went back to normal, engine sounded fine and nothing seamed to be wrong.
Then after driving I noticed the alarms would sound if I was in the 1500 - 2000 rev band and would stay sounding until I either braked or accelerated out of it.
After a bit of research it could be either both, or one, of the two high and low pressure switches. I serviced the car today and noticed the high pressure level switch just below the oil filter housing but dont know where the low pressure level switch is.
Im guessing it must be a switch problem as I drove another two hours again today and had no problems until I reached the end of my journey when I had to slow down. Engine temp is fine and I havent noticed any dull in power.
Just for completeness I did top up the oil about two weeks ago and when I drained it today the level was a small bit on the high side. Im not sure did that have anything to do with the fault.
What are the part numbers of the two switches and is the any website where I can buy them for delivery to Ireland.
Cheers
