What is this part called?
1950-79 Beetle / Karmann Ghia / T2 Split Screen / Bay Window 80 PSI Oil Pressure Sender
What does this part do on a VW?
This oil pressure sender monitors engine oil pressure and transmits the reading to a compatible oil pressure gauge while also supporting the original warning light circuit. Designed as an upgrade over the standard low-pressure warning switch, it provides more accurate monitoring of engine oil pressure to help protect against potential lubrication issues and engine damage.
Featuring a dual terminal design, this sender allows simultaneous operation of both an oil pressure gauge and the factory warning light. It is commonly used with aftermarket gauge kits on air-cooled Volkswagen engines and performance applications where accurate oil pressure monitoring is essential.
