Walker 256-1304 Engine Oil Pressure Switch
Walker 256-1304 Engine Oil Pressure Switch
Walker 256-1304 is an OE replacement engine oil pressure switch built to monitor oil pressure and send a warning signal when pressure drops below safe limits. It is designed for direct-fit service on select Volkswagen applications, including Jetta, Beetle, and Passat models with the listed pressure ratings.
Key Features
- OE replacement oil pressure switch for factory-style pressure monitoring
- White housing with a spade terminal design
- 1 connector, 1 terminal, female connector / male terminal
- Built to match OE pressure threshold, thread size, and electrical response
- High-temperature and oil-resistant construction for engine bay exposure
- Direct installation at the factory oil pressure switch location
Detailed Description
This Walker engine oil pressure switch is engineered to monitor lubrication system pressure and trigger the ECU or dashboard warning circuit when pressure falls below the safe range. The 256-1304 is specified for select 1997-1999 Volkswagen Jetta models with 0.9 BAR, 1998 Volkswagen Beetle models with brown 0.7 BAR specification, and 1996-1997 Volkswagen Passat models with 0.9 BAR. For buyers searching for a Volkswagen Jetta oil pressure switch, Volkswagen Passat oil pressure switch, or a 1998 Volkswagen Beetle oil pressure switch, this part number provides a direct OE-style replacement path.
Walker 256-1304 threads into the factory location, typically on the engine block or oil filter housing, and connects to the existing wiring without modification. The part number 256-1304 is built to match the original electrical response and terminal configuration so the warning system can operate as intended.
Common Issues This Part Can Address
- Oil warning light flickering or staying on
- False low-oil-pressure warnings
- No warning signal during an actual low-pressure condition
- Intermittent oil pressure switch signal
- Faulty pressure monitoring after engine service or rebuild
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the pressure rating, connector style, and thread match before installation. This switch uses a spade terminal with one female connector and one male terminal, so confirm the vehicle harness matches the original layout. Install at the factory oil pressure switch port and inspect the sealing surface and wiring condition before reconnecting.
Quality Assurance
Walker Products manufactures this switch to OE specifications for fit, pressure threshold, and electrical response. The construction uses materials selected for heat and oil exposure in engine service, supporting consistent operation in the lubrication warning circuit.
