Oil level high. Oil pressure switch low

[Marcusgorst]

Hi everyone

 

My oil level was high, but pressure was low.

And a strange repeating tink noise on the left near the DPF

I replaced oil to the correct level (to the middle point on the dip stick which used 3.1 L instead of the book 3.9 L)  and the oil pressure switch! but its still showing low pressure and the tink noise continued.

I'm assuming its to do with the regen cycle for the DPF. how does the dPF regen cycle initiate?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome Marcus,

How high was high - on a dip stick, if fitted on yours? 
When was the oil previously changed? 
Have you considered changing the oil pressure sensor? 
Kind regards,

Gareth.
