The yellow & blue wires from the senders have continuity back to the clocks.
The oil light does the short "ignition live" flash then goes out until I start the engine.
If I start the engine, the light starts flashing (no buzzer). If I disconnect the the blue/black wire the light stops flashing.
Oil is Fuchs 10w40, filter is Mann, both have been changed fairly recently.
This is how the wires are attached:

Oil light flashing and Buzzer at high RPM that is the white one on the oil filter flange.
The single pin black on the oil filter flange is the oil temp.
When you state that you took the cluster out and replaced it, was it with a different unit, or the Original.
Make and model as well as engine would be nice to know as well.
Check the connectors and wires on the senders.
The light is controlled by the "EL" shaped board in the back of the speedo housing, they do go bad occasionally.

The other is usually .3 bar and operates open when low pressure at the head when idle.
According to the Bentley, they are only all located on the Oil Filter Flange when you have a 16V.

Grounding that wire causes the light to flash when the engine is running and also when it isn't running.
That suggests that the cluster is at fault and the engine is okay - right?
I still have the mark one clocks to test this with. Can I test with just positive, negative, and 1.8bar wire?
