Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] OIL light comes on .......

hi

yes you are correct about the resistance needed for the circuit.

I have an old sump cover with the sensor on there so i will take that off and measure the resistance and use the apprioate value resistor to bridge the connector.

Will let you guys know what happens

cheers
