Oil Pressure Sensor/Sending Unit Location?

[J3Vr6]

Hi guys, I've searched the forum and Google and couldn't find the actual location of the oil pressure sensor/sending unit. There was a schematic from Bently's in another thread that showed it was to the left of the oil filter but I can't, for the life of me, see it. This is for an '01 1.8T.

Does anyone have a real picture of the location (as opposed to a schematic) to make it easy to find, please?

FYI, this all started with getting the blue temp light flashing with the oil light once in a while. I replaced the coolant temp sensor yesterday and did an oil change (synthetic Mobile 1 5w30, Bosch filter). The coolant light doesn't turn on anymore, but the oil light still beeps and flashes for a little while at acceleration but turns off after a few seconds. There are no knocks or pings coming from the engine.

Strangely, it seems to happen much more frequently after the oil change than it did before.

No, I haven't vag-com, I need to find someone in Miami that has one.

under the intake manifold, ontop of the oil filter flange.

Lol, that doesn't help me. Do I have to remove the engine cover to see it?

[kaiser]

lol, you need to spend more time under the hood.

yes the upper engine cover needs to come off and your secondary air pump my be in the way.

Lol, well condo commandos in my neighborhood have a hard on against people working on cars outside so the more I know before having to remove anything, the better.
