Walker 256-1032 Engine Oil Pressure Switch

Engine Oil Pressure Switch for VW and Audi

Walker 256-1032 is an OE replacement engine oil pressure switch built to monitor lubrication pressure and send a warning signal when pressure drops below safe limits. It is designed for direct replacement in select Audi and Volkswagen applications, including Audi A3, A4, A6, TT, and Volkswagen Jetta, Golf, GTI, Passat, and Tiguan models.

• OE-style oil pressure monitoring for engine warning systems
• Matches factory pressure thresholds, thread size, terminal type, and electrical response
• Metal and plastic construction with black finish
• Blade pin terminal design with 1 female connector and 1 male terminal
• Direct-fit replacement for factory mounting locations on the engine block or oil filter housing
• Built with high-temperature, oil-resistant materials for engine bay exposure

Detailed Product Overview

Walker Products 256-1032 is engineered for vehicles that rely on an accurate oil pressure signal to trigger the dash warning light or communicate with the ECU. In Audi and Volkswagen engines, a failing switch can cause flickering oil lights, false warnings, or no warning at all during a real low-pressure event. This replacement switch is built to OE specifications so it threads into the original location and connects to the existing harness without modification.

This part cross-references select OE-style oil pressure switch applications for the same vehicle coverage.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Oil warning light flickering at idle or during driving
• False low-oil-pressure alerts on the instrument cluster
• No warning signal when actual oil pressure drops
• Intermittent electrical signal from a worn switch
• Oil pressure monitoring faults during engine service or rebuild work

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the switch in the factory oil pressure port on the engine block or oil filter housing, using the original connector and wiring path. Verify thread size, terminal style, and pressure specification against the removed part before installation. After replacement, confirm proper oil pressure warning operation and inspect for leaks at the threaded connection.

Quality Assurance

Walker Products manufactures this oil pressure switch to OE replacement standards for fit, electrical response, and pressure threshold accuracy. The unit uses oil-resistant, high-temperature materials to support consistent operation in engine environments.
