blue wire to blue sensor,

yellow wire to black one.

You need to check the pressure ratings on the sensors, they could be wrong.

Ended up hooking up an Audi pressure sender to a pressure gauge and earthing the yellow wire to the head.

Is there not something about early cars with late clocks or the other way around which can cause the buzzer to go off no matter what?

Post by: Richvw18 on February 28, 2014, 10:30:05 am: Had a look at my oil pressure senders today...the one connected to the blue wire is a dark brown colour...part number 056919081c and has 0.15 to 0.45 bar stamped on it...it a genuine vw one...the black one i replaced that joins to the yellow wire has 1.2 to 1.6 bar stamped on it....

Has for the clock idea....its on a j 1991....so im assuming the clock should be fine either way.
