Oil pressure indicator

Pressure of engine oil in Audi 80 is controlled by two switches with a hydraulic actuator and the control unit with a buzzer (both last are combined in system of minicheck). If to represent simply, control is exercised as follows:

  • At the included ignition to one of contact conclusions of the indicator of pressure of oil food constantly arrives.
  • If oil pressure (at the idle engine) lower than 0,3 bars — become isolated contacts of the switch with a hydraulic actuator of 0,3 bars thanks to what connection on "weight" to the second contact conclusion of the indicator is created – the lamp lights up (blinks).
  • If after the beginning of operation of the engine pressure of oil rises, contacts in the switch open, and the lamp dies away.
  • Additional control is exercised on models with 4-and 5-cylinder engines by means of the switch with a hydraulic actuator of 1,8 bars, on models with the 6-cylinder engine by means of the switch with a hydraulic actuator of 2,5 bars.
    The switch with a hydraulic actuator and the control unit is a part of the system minichecks: if pressure of oil falls below the switching pressure of 1,8 or 2,5 bars, its contacts become isolated, creating thereby connection on "weight" to the control unit in system of minicheck – the switch with a hydraulic actuator of 0,3 bars also does not turn on at this time.
  • The system of minicheck allows a lamp of the indicator to flash only in a case when pressure of oil falls below switching more long, than on 1 with and the number of turns of the engine thus makes more than 2100 rpm.
  • In addition the system of minicheck publishes a warning noise signal. Sense of all this in prevention of damages of the engine because of too low pressure of oil (for example because of its too low level).

Switches with a hydraulic actuator

At the left: 4-cylinder engine: both switches with a hydraulic actuator 0,3 the bar (1) and 1,8 the bar (2) are located on a flange of an oil filter (3).

On the right: 5-cylinder engine: switches with a hydraulic actuator 0,3 the bar (1) and 1,8 the bar (2) are located at the engine below the thermostat case at the left.

At the left: near a pulley of a cranked shaft on models with the 6-cylinder engine the sensor of the indicator of temperature of oil (1) is located. Directly near it the switch with a hydraulic actuator 2,5 the bar (2) is visible. Behind it the switch with a hydraulic actuator of 0,3 bars is located. On the models equipped with additional devices, the switch of 0,3 bars is combined with the oil pressure sensor.

On the right: in this shtekerny connection (shooter) located behind at the left head of the block of cylinders all wires to the oil temperature sensor, the sensor of pressure of oil and both switches with a hydraulic actuator are collected.

Insulators of switches with a hydraulic actuator are painted in different colors.

  • The switch with a hydraulic actuator of 0,3 bars is painted in brown color. The cars equipped with the manometer on a place of this switch have an oil pressure sensor supplied with in addition switching contact for the indicator.
  • The switch with a hydraulic actuator of 1,8 bars is painted in white color (models with 4-and 5-cylinder engines).
  • The switch with a hydraulic actuator of 2,5 bars is painted in red color (models with the 6-cylinder engine).

Search of malfunctions

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. If the indicator flashes (perhaps with an additional buzzer) at the working engine, you need to stop immediately!
  2. Immediately to kill the engine, to check oil level. If it in norm:
  3. To disconnect a wire from the switch with a hydraulic actuator of 0,3 bars, to leave it to be groundless, include ignition: if the indicator continues to burn, it means that in conducting there was a short circuit on "weight" – is harmless for the engine.
  4. To disconnect a wire from the switch with a hydraulic actuator of 1,8 bars (or 2,5 bars) and to bring to "weight", to include ignition: if the indicator continues to burn or the warning buzzer continues to sound, so malfunction concerns system of minicheck or check – is harmless for the engine.
  5. If you observe others, not given above, effects, it is possible to suspect that supply of the engine with oil is broken. Further the car needs to be towed!
  6. Possibly, one of switches with a hydraulic actuator is faulty. Sometimes it again joins if to shake his shtekerny uvula.
  7. If the indicator of pressure of oil does not flash after ignition inclusion:
  8. At first to check a safety lock (the head the Body electrical system).
  9. To disconnect a wire from the switch with a hydraulic actuator of 0,3 bars and to bring to "weight": if now the indicator lights up, so the switch was faulty. If it still does not react, so conducting or a bulb are faulty.

Check of the control unit

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. To disconnect a wire from the switch with a hydraulic actuator of 1,8 bars and to leave it to be groundless. To start the engine and to leave to work with a frequency about 2500 rpm.
  2. After 2 seconds of work the indicator and three times has to flash to sound a buzzer. Otherwise the system of minicheck is faulty – to replace!
  3. If only the indicator flashes, but does not work a buzzer, so conducting from the generator 61 plug is interrupted (D +).
  4. If the indicator flashes and the buzzer at the connected wire to the switch with a hydraulic actuator with a frequency of turns of the engine is distributed about 2500 rpm, so the switch of 1,8 bars (2,5 bars) – provided that engine oil level as it should be is faulty.
  5. To leave the engine to work at single turns, to disconnect a wire from the switch of 1,8 bars (or 2,5 bars) and to leave to be groundless. If now the bulb and a buzzer work conducting from the plug 1 (a rotation frequency signal) and systems of minicheck is, so interrupted.

Replacement of the switch with a hydraulic actuator

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. To get the necessary switch with brown, white or red isolation and one sealing ring.
  2. To tighten the switch with a hydraulic actuator the moment of 25 N • m.
