What vehicles is this oil pressure switch compatible with?

What is the shifting point of this switch?

The oil pressure switch operates at a shifting point of 0.45 bar. This means it will trigger a signal when the oil pressure drops below this level.

Does the switch come with a seal ring?

What are the physical dimensions of the switch?

The switch has a length of 54 mm, an external thread size of M14 x 1.5, and requires a 21 mm spanner for installation.

Can I install this myself?

Installation should ideally be performed by a competent individual or qualified mechanic experienced with automotive systems. The product is typically supplied without fitting instructions.

How do I know if my oil pressure is too low?

Your vehicle's oil pressure warning light will typically illuminate on the dashboard if the pressure drops below the safe threshold detected by the switch. Check your owner's manual for specific dashboard indicator meanings.

What is the part number for this switch?

The part number for this Febi Bilstein oil pressure switch is 101023.

Troubleshooting

Oil pressure warning light stays on after installation

Double-check the electrical connection to the switch. Verify that the switch is correctly tightened and the seal is properly seated. Confirm that the oil pressure in the system is actually within the normal operating range; if not, the issue may lie with the oil pump, oil level, or an internal engine problem.

Oil leak from the switch area

Ensure the seal ring is present and correctly positioned. Tighten the switch to the recommended torque specification (consult a service manual). If the leak persists, the switch may be faulty or the mating surface on the engine block may be damaged.

Switch fails to activate warning light

Verify the electrical circuit, including the wiring and the dashboard warning light itself. Test the switch's functionality by manually grounding its terminal (if applicable and safe to do so) to see if the light illuminates. If the circuit is sound, the switch itself may be defective.
