Title: Oil Pressure switch
Post by: NorthWest on November 10, 2021, 05:57:19 pm
Randomly scanning my 2007 GTi on 'Carly OBD' to check for 02 sensor issue and getting a code also of P0522 (Engine Oil Pressure Sensor).
No lights on dash regarding oil pressure or anything like that.

Ordered up an oem switch anyways just to replace it...looks like a nightmare to replace?

anyone done this themselves? any tips on doing it with out pulling the front of that car apart?

Cheers Lads!

I was going to say that it doesn't look too bad - Dont worry there are much worse jobs around the engine!
