'93 Polo oil light by furball on Sat Jan 22, 2011 1:27 pm
Not sure if this is the right bit but here we go anyway.

One of the bosses at work has a '93 1.0 Polo with an oil light that stays on all the time. I'm assuming it'll be something like the oil pressure sensor? If so, where would it be hiding?

I believe on one this age it's near the oil filter housing (you'll see a connector plug nearby).
There are only 2 tools in life: Gaffa tape and WD40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the gaffa tape, if it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.

on a 93 should be on top of oil filter housing as said, my golf had 2 sensors on it, a hi pressure warning and a low pressure warning sensor so take the sensor along with youu if you need a new one so you get the right one,

They are a bugger for the oil light staying on, I ran one for 20k with the light on, all that was in one summer mind :lol:
