Oil pressure warning

[chrisjpearson84]

Hi I’m new to the site and was wondering if anyone has had an oil pressure warning come up in the middle screen of the car is there a common fix like replace a sensor or something thanks

A faulty pressure switch is the most likely cause, but have you considered that it might be a genuine warning?

Absolutely Cliff. I’m on the same wavelength as you and If this were mine Chris, I would be treating the warning as a signal that you indeed have low/zero oil pressure until you prove otherwise. That respect would extend to certainly not using the car until the actual oil pressure was checked. Anything regarding a sensor being at fault must remain pure assumption until proved to be correct. 

Kind regards,

Gareth,

Hi Chris.

What was the fix in your case?

Hello Octavian,

The poster hasn’t returned to the forum since the day he joined some 9 months ago. I would suggest you send him a PM. 

Perhaps you would be kind enough to let us know the outcome if you have a reply.

Kind regards,

Gareth.
