Location of Oil Pressure Sensor

[uno4u2nv17]

Hello ,

I've been having an oil pressure sensor warning appearing on my dash since a oil change at the dealer about two weeks ago. I've checked the oil level which is fine and I remember when I first bought the car in 2009 the pressure sensor had a week or two where it would flash for a bit then go off and never come on again.

I have read numerous threads talking about diagnosing oil pressure issues with the 2.0T which I have a 2006 btw. But I cannot find a clear picture of where the oil pressure sensor is , does anyone have a picture clearly showing the area?

Thanks for your time

Number 13 here.

That's the oil level sensor ^

The pressure sensor is located near the oil filter housing.

I've been wrong before, but I don't see it in Bentley at the oil filter, and they call number 13 above the Oil Level Thermal Sensor G266.

It's on the right side of the housing and is technically called the oil pressure sender.

Here's a better pic

My bad. I had a filter on when I searched in my Bentley.

Then you need to get an oil pressure test with an actual gauge.

Should be 14-20 PSI at warm idle and between 45-60 PSI at 2000 RPM.

If your pressure is within this spec you probably need a new sensor.

If your pressure is below this spec you probably need a new oil pump.
