Ok. would it matter if oil pressure switches were put in backwards?......
I have had this coupe quattro for more than a year now and I am allways having these issuse. I just finished putting back together the top end. and I realized something.
In bently The white 1.8 bar(26psi) is on the top and the Brown(vdo sender) .3bar(4.4psi) is on the bottom.
The previous owner installed these aftermarket autometer gauges in. And I am looking at my engine and the white is on the bottom and the vdo is on the top. on the bottom end.
Does it matter?
This is the problem I am having:
"The hydraulic vavle lifters are subjected to excess pressure if the oil pressure is significantly increased ( pressure relief vavle is stuck or improperly installled) the engine will then shut down shortly after starting, next when attempting to restart, the engine turns over extremely fast during cranking as a result of low compression (extended lifters).."
WEll at least this is what I am thinking that is happening.
But low compression could be the problem too, but I have no way of checking.
I have a new pressure relief vavle on order. I just installed a new spring. but at this moment I am perplexed.
