Subject:Re: oil pressure switch question 1.8 bar?

Actually, the 1.8 bar switch is for the Inline engines which
non-hydraulic lifters and Diesels. It is a typo or other mistake that it
shows up in the parts listing for Wasser boxers. The .9 switch is the
correct one for the port directly off the oil pump.

It's to cause owners much needless worry and aggravation (BTDT), and
sometimes premature rebuilding expense.
  The .9 is fine.
