Walker 256-1102 Engine Oil Pressure Switch

Engine Oil Pressure Switch for Audi and Volkswagen

Walker 256-1102 is an OE replacement engine oil pressure switch built to monitor lubrication pressure and send the correct signal to the ECU or dashboard warning circuit. It is designed for Audi and Volkswagen applications that require accurate oil pressure threshold response, including many 2015-2026 models.

Key Features

• OE-style engine oil pressure switch for factory-style warning system operation
• Spade terminal with 1 connector and 1 terminal
• Female connector / male terminal configuration
• Black housing with high-temperature, oil-resistant construction
• Matches OE specifications for pressure threshold, thread size, terminal type, and electrical response
• Direct-fit replacement for factory mounting locations such as the engine block or oil filter housing

Product Details

Walker 256-1102 is engineered for vehicles that rely on a precise oil pressure signal to trigger the warning light or communicate with engine management. In Audi A3, A4, A5, A6, Q3, Q5, Q7, S3, TT Quattro, and Volkswagen GTI, Golf, Jetta, Passat, Tiguan, Atlas, Arteon, and related applications, the switch helps maintain accurate low-pressure detection. This part cross-references OE-style applications such as 06L 919 081 for the same type of service need.

The switch is built to match factory electrical response and physical fit, making it a direct replacement for the original unit. Walker 256-1102 is a practical choice when the original oil pressure switch is no longer reporting correctly or when the warning circuit needs restoration during engine service.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Oil pressure warning light flickering or staying on
• False low-oil-pressure alerts
• No warning signal when oil pressure drops below safe limits
• Intermittent oil pressure switch signal to the ECU or cluster
• Faulty factory switch during engine repair or rebuild work

Installation Notes and Tips

Install Walker 256-1102 in the original threaded location and verify the connector style before installation. Confirm the pressure rating and application notes for your specific Audi or Volkswagen model, since some vehicles use different switch calibrations. Inspect the wiring connector and sealing surface before fitting the new switch, and clear any stored fault codes after installation if the vehicle uses electronic monitoring.

Quality Assurance

Walker Products manufactures this oil pressure switch to OE replacement standards using materials selected for heat and oil exposure. The part is built for consistent electrical response and factory-style fit in the lubrication warning system.
