    Oil pressure switch/sensor in M42 engine???

    Where is this located? I've ck'd the Haynes manual and although it mentions the switch/sensor in the troubleshooting tips I can't seem to find information on where its located and how to replace it.

      Thanks e9nine So I assume pulling the switch is going to drain the fresh oil I just put in it last week?

        NP. There is not that much oil in the bowl. With the car cold, .take out the filter, .leave a pan beneath the car, try pull out the switch gently...move on from there.
