What It Helps Address

• Oil warning light flickering or staying on
• False low-oil-pressure alerts
• No warning signal when oil pressure drops below safe limits
• Faulty ECU input from a worn pressure switch
• Intermittent oil pressure warning behavior after engine service or repair

Installation Notes

Install the switch in the factory oil pressure switch location and connect it to the existing wiring harness without modification. Verify the connector style, terminal count, and pressure specification before installation, especially on Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Golf, and Audi A3 Sportback e-tron applications. The part number 256-1092 should be matched to the vehicle’s OE-style pressure range and connector configuration before replacement.

Quality Assurance

Walker Products manufactures this oil pressure switch to OE replacement standards for fit, electrical response, and pressure calibration. Part number 256-1092 is built for consistent operation in engine environments where heat and oil exposure are constant. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
