oil pressure switch

[77mk1]

i have a 96 gl 2.0 8v. the oil pressure swith on the side of the head started to leak and the one that was on the car was brown and i called a mechanic and he got me a white one. when i drove home the oil light came on, it goes out at idle then on again when i start driving. should my car have a blue switch or could it just be faulty. i have the right level of oil in the car and am using 10/40 synthetic. there is no beeping.

cheers

I think the one on side of head is low pressure switch, brown colour switch has been superseded by blue one. The white colour switch that your mechanic gave you is high pressure switch, wrong one.

thanks for that, couldn't find anywhere online where it said which color went where. my new mission for the weekend
