The oil light in the new cluster has two colors. Red indicates oil pressure. Green(yellow) is for 'oil status' and measures K38, this oil level sensor.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The oil pressure sensor exists in all A4s as far as I know. It's simply a switch that closes when the pressure gets above a certain level, at which point it throws a code or illuminates the idiot light. It's located below the oil filter canister and above the oil cooler.Originally posted by weedeater:
You are correct, sir! There is a separate pressure sensor.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Jerry, the hole size has to be 41 mm. I'd bet on it. That's roughly the inner diameter of the rubber gasket. I do have another (unbroken) sensor besides the one I gave Lito. I'll bring it with me on Saturday.Originally posted by Birdman:
you are right it almost looks like the rubber gasket is made to fit the small ridge inside the mail hole. Send it up with Brian on Saturday and i will let a machine shop look at it.-- EDIT we can make a hole in a piece of wood and try a few things. OR maybe someone who has this over the pond can measure the hole size for us.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm not so sure. To me, it looks like the sensor may actually be able to read level continuously, not just on/off. Don't ask me how I know this.Originally posted by weedeater:
For level, I bet it's on/off. Temperature is another matter.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, this is a good idea. My cluster isn't in yet. I was hoping someone could try something like this. If a code isn't thrown, shouldn't it at least light the "No level" idiot light?Perhaps someone with a cluster could set it for the flexible service interval function, then see if they get a DTC for oil temp sensor malfunction...

Anyone know the EXACT location of T14a???
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well guys I have to burst your bubble. I just read through the procedure you guys are working with. Drilling the pan and tapping it it not a viable solution. Trust me I tried.Originally posted by tongsli:
I ordered the electrical connectors and Brian ordered the gasket and bolts.

Thanks for the info. I believe I know what you are referring to. I have the OEM pan on the way and will be able to see it for myself.
What displays on your MFA cluster?
Did you follow the wiring diagrams and wire sizes?
