Subject:oil pressure switch 2 - HELP
From:Tonya Pope
Date:Wed, 5 May 1999 13:31:29 -0500

Please, I tried calling the parts department and they couldn't tell me
what the pressure rating was for the part number.  Ok, so they're stupid
or just not user-friendly.  I don't know.

Anyway, the switch put in is 056-919-081-E.  I have the "right" switch
in my hand and the part number says 068-919-081-A.  It's labeled
0.75-1.05bar.  I had previously purchased this from the parts department
and specifically asked for the .9 bar switch.  So what is really the
right part number???  ANYBODY?

Doesn't somebody have microfiche?  There used to be a mechanic from a
Washington state dealer on the list that was helpful and pointed this
problem out.  You still here??

If I do indeed have the wrong switch installed (which seems the case
since it likes to buzz so much), I need to bring it to the service
departments attention pronto.  If it's the right switch, I need to find
out why the thing keeps buzzing.  It did not before I brought it in and
the filter is the dealer-installed filter as they always do the oil
changes (19.95 including filter, hey, why should I get my hands dirty).

Thanks,
Tonya
