FAQs

What does the 0.9 bar rating mean?

The 0.9 bar rating indicates the oil pressure at which the switch will activate, typically turning on a warning light or signaling a low-pressure condition.

Is this a universal oil pressure switch?

No, this is a specific replacement part. You must confirm compatibility with your vehicle's make, model, and year before purchasing.

Do I need to buy a separate seal ring?

No, the Febi Bilstein 105971 oil pressure switch comes with a seal ring included.

How do I know if I need to replace my oil pressure switch?

Symptoms include a flickering or continuously illuminated oil warning light, or an oil pressure gauge reading consistently low. However, always verify actual oil pressure with a mechanical gauge.

Can I install this myself?

Installation requires mechanical knowledge and tools. It is recommended to have the part installed by a competent individual or a qualified mechanic.

What tools are needed for installation?

A 22 mm spanner is required to tighten the switch.

Where can I find cross-reference part numbers?

Cross-reference numbers such as A.Z. Meisterteile AZMT-49-020-2733, ACI-AVESA ABG-621, and others are listed in the product description and can help confirm fitment across different brands.

Troubleshooting

Oil warning light remains on after installation

Verify the switch is correctly installed and tightened. Ensure the electrical connector is securely attached. Check if the oil pressure is actually low by using a mechanical gauge. Confirm the part is compatible with your vehicle.

Oil leak from the switch fitting

Ensure the included seal ring is present and correctly seated. Tighten the switch slightly more (do not overtighten). If the leak persists, the switch may be faulty or the mating surface may be damaged.

Switch does not trigger warning light

Check the vehicle's wiring and the dashboard warning light for faults. Test the switch's continuity with a multimeter when pressure is below 0.9 bar. Ensure correct part number was purchased and installed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: It is crucial to verify that this part number (105971) is compatible with your specific vehicle's make, model, and year before purchasing. Check your vehicle's service manual or consult with a parts specialist. Cross-reference numbers like A.Z.

Care: Oil pressure switches are typically maintenance-free components. Ensure the electrical connection remains clean and secure. Avoid overtightening during installation, as this can damage the threads or the switch body. Regular checks of your vehicle's oil level and pressure are recommended.
