Ferg Sail Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Hey crew, My Audi S3 is triggering its low oil pressure light. The dipestick level is fine. There are no funny noises and the car isn't overheating. is this just a case of a faulty sensor or is it something bigger. I am planning to check the pressure later in the week but was seeking advice if anyone has encountered this aswell, kind regards, Ferg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferg Sail Posted October 30 Author Share Posted October 30 * it also triggers at random. I can do a pull and it won't trigger and then when I drive normally it will trigger for 3 seconds and will then go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Definitely could be the sensor. This would be picked up on a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferg Sail Posted October 30 Author Share Posted October 30 Ran a diagnostic. Nothing came up apart from my car running a bit lean but this will be fixed when I get a tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi find the pressure sensor and change it, probably about £20 for the part at least that will rule that option out. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Ferg Sail Posted October 31 Author Solution Share Posted October 31 Put new a new oil pressure sensor in last night which seems to have fixed the problem. I also noticed my intake wasn't sitting properly on the turbo and was loose. Re-fitted everything and now I have no codes and the car isn't running lean anymore. thanks everyone for your help! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
