Oil temperature sensor on the oil pump? If so = 035 919 521B (See inside)

Probably, I was mentally looking from the front. If pressure as in the photo inside then

you probably need the F1 pressure switch (very common VW/Audi Part)

Kate says if you look at 919-65 you will find Item (17) = F1, oil pressure switch (for idiot light) = 056 919 081 E<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/227295.phtml">Click here for a bunch of sender and sensor part numbers</a></li></ul>

For some reason, in my car F1 is above F22. Also,

if F1 is leaking, buy the same color you have, because a white or black have different ranges.

Concur. That's a common failure item. The temp sensors almost can't leak...

...because the part that screws into the block is solid.

The oil temp sender is in the oil pump housing. Could be different.
