Walker 256-1095 Engine Oil Pressure Switch

Engine Oil Pressure Switch Overview

Walker 256-1095 is an OE replacement engine oil pressure switch built to monitor lubrication pressure and trigger a warning signal when pressure falls below safe limits. It is a direct-fit solution for Audi and Volkswagen applications that need accurate oil pressure feedback for the ECU or dashboard warning system.

• OE replacement oil pressure switch for factory-style pressure monitoring
• Matches OE specifications for pressure threshold, thread size, terminal type, and electrical response
• High-temperature, oil-resistant construction for engine bay exposure
• Blade pin terminal design with a female connector and two terminals
• Walker 256-1095 supports early warning function when oil pressure drops

Detailed Product Information

This Walker oil pressure switch is engineered to restore the signal path used by the engine control system or warning lamp when oil pressure changes. The metal and plastic housing, black finish, and blade pin terminal layout are built to match the factory electrical interface, while the OE-style calibration helps maintain proper warning behavior. For drivers searching for an Audi Q5 oil pressure switch, Audi S5 oil pressure switch, or Volkswagen Touareg oil pressure switch, Walker 256-1095 provides a direct replacement option that threads into the original location and connects to existing wiring.

Walker Products designs this switch to meet OE fit and response requirements, making it suitable for service work, drivability repairs, or engine rebuilds where accurate oil pressure monitoring is required. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Oil warning light flickering or intermittent operation
• False low-oil-pressure warnings
• No signal when actual oil pressure drops
• Loss of reliable ECU or gauge input from the pressure circuit
• Restoring factory-style lubrication system monitoring
