OIL PRESS!! STOP MOTOR!!

[dan2252]

All cars suffer from this.

To be honest I haven't really heard of blocked pick up pipes on any other cars apart from the VAGs.
Sure it happens with serious neglect on other cars, But its something I am constantly hearing about with 1.8s,

My friends S3 went the other day as well.



What is the main cause of this with these cars,
Wrong oil?
Lack of oil changes?
Bad design of pick up pipes?
or a combination of all of the above?

alot of older cars had issues like this. like old ford engines would get blocked pick up pipes.

Mine recently died from a blocked pick up pipe because I didn't turn the engine off quick enough after the warning came on...so def worth a look and replace while ur there as there cheap anyway.
