I bought a new aftermarket door lock for my mk2 Golf GTI a couple of years ago which didn't work so I ended up buying a second hand original one which worked perfectly. I know you take a risk buying old but the new aftermarket one just wouldn't work.

It's probably the sensor in the top of the reservoir, try taking it out and clean it.

Is the car on the road and are you still using it?
Do you have any photos?

Good luck with the PAS conversion.

A guy in Germany makes good copies of the build stickers but he will need information to reproduce one for you.

Is it coming out of the oil pressure switch?
. Honestly no idea, or more to the point; don’t know where that is lol

Have you established it's a coolant or oil leak yet?
The oil pressure switch is to the left of the circle you've drawn with the wire attached.
Sorry didn't see Eddypeck reply.
