Fitment: Fits selected models across Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen. Confirm exact fitment before ordering.
Product Description
The Arrowhead SENSOR OIL LEVEL 3PIN is designed for accurate monitoring of oil levels in your vehicle's sump, helping to protect your engine from low oil conditions. This sensor fits into the sump and uses a three-pin electrical connector to relay real-time oil level information to your car's electronic control system. A secure mounting flange and integrated gasket help ensure a reliable seal and straightforward installation.
This oil level sensor is compatible with selected Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen models. It is commonly found in vehicles such as the VW Golf VI and VII, Polo, Tiguan, Touran, as well as Audi A1, A3, A4 B8, and A5 TDI models. However, always confirm your model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure the correct fitment.
Common symptoms of a faulty oil level sensor include warning lights on the dashboard, inaccurate oil level readings, intermittent oil level alerts, or persistent low oil warnings despite proper oil levels. You might also experience erratic oil level gauge behaviour or false alarms that can cause unnecessary concern.
If you notice any of these symptoms, replacing the oil level sensor is recommended to restore accurate monitoring and prevent potential engine damage. Always ensure the sensor is installed correctly, and remember to check the connector and gasket for secure fitment during replacement.
