Febi 08444 Engine Oil Pressure Sensor

Engine Oil Pressure Sensor for Audi and Volkswagen

The Febi 08444 engine oil pressure sensor is a direct-fit style replacement for a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen applications. It uses a single connection, M10 x 1 outside thread, and a 0.7 bar switch pressure to monitor oil pressure in the engine lubrication system.

Built with a grey color coding, yellow galvanized surface, 24 mm wrench size, and 13 mm thread length, this febi sensor is specified for vehicles that require a shifting pressure range from 0.75 bar to 1.05 bar. The Febi 08444 is a practical choice for maintaining accurate oil pressure signaling on older European platforms.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thread size, switch pressure, and connector style before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s required pressure range matches 0.75 bar to 1.05 bar and that the application calls for an M10 x 1 sensor with a 24 mm wrench size. Clean the mounting area and inspect the wiring connector for corrosion or damage before fitting the new sensor.
