is the dash loom from the same age car as yours?  The wiring changed later on and there's only one oil pressure sensor on later ones.

yes then the loom will be from one with a single pressure sensor.  You'll need to clocks to match really.  Or run your own wire from the 2nd sensor to the correct pin on the back of the clocks.

I think there's a pin-out diagram for the clocks connector in the electronics FAQ section somewhere which will tell you which pin to use.

not sure off the top of my head.  Have you got a haynes manual there?  See which sensor goes to which pin on the back of the clocks.  The wires from the sensors go directly into the clocks.

Checked the sensors to see if they're working? From memory one is for <2.5k RPM and the other for >2.5k RPM, although that may be mk2 golf.
Someone had that on here not long ago and turned out to be a dodgy set of clocks. Everything fails sometime!
