If you just want to shut off the alarm pull the wire off the sensor at the oil filter housing and ground it to the engine, this will silence the alarm but not fix your oil pressure issue.
The Jetta's ECU / Computer is what shut it down. Most cars cant run with oil that's 200 degrees F hott mang........think about it....
The oil alarm/light is related to a low oil pressure, so I think it is related to a bad oil pump, and not to a low oil quantity/level in your engine. (It happend me once, and the pump components had to be replaced).
Key on, engine off, door shut, press gas pedal to the floor three times in ten seconds. Cycle ignition off and on, should be reset.
Because it is not a good car!
Not that I know of. The oil pressure light comes on at a very low pressure, but it will not shut the car off.
There isn't a sensor that will shut off the engine if the oil pressure is too low
Where is the oil pan on a 1999 Jetta located?
hello, take one of the wires off from the oil tank, both blue I think, if alarm goes off, it mite be your oil float in the tank is stuck or has gone bad.
If its the newer 1999 jetta, it takes somewhere between 4 and 5 quarts. When I change my oil I always put a little over 4 quarts and then check my oil level. If its low I keep adding more until there's enough. Sometimes it takes a little while because you have to crank the car to let the oil circulate for a little while and then shut it off and let it sit. That way you can tell how much oil is really in there.
ok so i drained all oil from pan, all bolts are off pan.pan is loose but wont come off
where is the oil filter on a vw jetta gli
check your oil pressure sensor, it is an easy fix.
