    Hello, how many oil pressure sensors are in this engine? One is for sure, on the right side I found it and oil dumped through it to the plug, it is leaking by itself at the pin, is there another one in the engine from free or high? greetings.

    Added after 7 [minutes]:

    From 720 to approx. 1,400 rotations is fine and above 1600 is also good. Low pressure only shows and this also not always in the given RPM range. When I bought it was flooded 10w40 nothing happened, after replacement for 5w30 this adventure with the control began. I will add that the engine is tight no leaks except this sensor which the oil dumps through the plug. I will exchange it for days and ask if it is still somewhere else because it was in the vw group anyway.

    Buddy, you only have one sensor.
    Warning!
    We never change from 10-30 to 5-30.
    Conversely yes, but just like you did.

    Theoretically, this should not be done, but an engine with 190,000 thousand mileage and pouring 10w40 oil is something wrong? This is done in cars with mileage above 300,000. which sweat and the car owner instead of refurbishing the engine wants to drive a little more solving the problem with denser oil and for some reasons then scrap.
    If this control is not the fault of the sensor, I will simply do the engine repair despite the fact that there are no leaks, I will add that when I was descending from 10w40 to 5w30, I changed the oil filter twice and the oil and the third oil filter again for 1000km. The result is that now after driving 1000km oil not black tar in the engine but brown transparent, earlier it was black tar after driving even 100km immediately after the exchange even when I flooded it with ten (it was flooded when I bought it and I did the first exchange after purchase) only now I have flooded the synthesizer, best regards.

    And why is this not done?
    is the same who said that if the car has 300,000 we pour 10w40?
    There is not a penny of truth here.
    You can switch to better oils and nothing will happen. Often, the only thing that is noticeable is the improvement.

    In addition, in extreme cases where someone does not change oil and build up carbon deposits that are supposed to be flushed out what you would not pour and flushes them out.

    I said so, but if the leaks start somewhere and not when the engine is tight and dry, it does not take oil etc. I know a lot of cars with mileage after 400,000 and flooded with full synthetics, the issue of the condition of the engine and the approach of the owner of the car. it is also used in other respects besides the engine and we want to drive it a bit and it flows without major outlays on the engine, pour it with a polysinthetic then mineral and then let's pour some doctor, the motor after such a thing is completely unfit for repair I suspect in most cases.

    First of all, leaks are removed and the oil does not change.
    Oil change rarely helps ...

    This should be done but in most cases the rule is to change the oil to a denser one and that's what it is supposed to keep working without financial outlays, such a mentality of some people.

    This is by the way you are right, only that most workshops think that it will help and here it turns out not ...

Topic summary

The discussion centers around the VW 1.6 FSI 115HP engine, specifically regarding the number and location of oil pressure sensors. The original poster confirms the presence of one sensor located on the right side, which is leaking oil. Responses indicate that there is typically only one oil pressure sensor in this engine. The conversation also touches on oil viscosity changes, with the original poster noting issues after switching from 10W40 to 5W30 oil. Some participants express concerns about the implications of changing oil types, especially in high-mileage engines, while others argue that switching to better oils can improve engine performance. The overall consensus suggests that while oil changes may not resolve leaks, they can affect engine condition.
