    Oil Pressure Switch - How?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    96 A4 Qtr with 2.8. Anyone taken out the oil pressure switch? Bentley is absolutely worthless. It tells me:

    1. Disconnect harness connector from oil pressure switch.
    2. Remove oil pressure switch...


    Then they provide this picture, and point to it with the black arrow. Mine isn't where the black arrow is, mine is on the front side where my red arrow is. At least I can feel something there with a wire on it. Do I have to take off the oil cooler to get to it? It's jammed right between the A/C Compressor and the oil cooler.....and unless I can put my arm through the radiator, it's not going to happen.

    Found it. For all you Googlers......Bentley is wrong. For the 12 valve V6 (AFC) this diagram from over at 12v.org shows where it is. Later today I'll find out how much of a pain it is to get to. Might have to move the lock carrier forward....maybe even have to take off the serpentine belt.

    OK, it's a huge pain. I had to move the lock carrier out, then take off the oil cooler and move the coolant line that runs down across the bottom of the front of the engine to get it out of the way......and I could barely get a socket on it.
