Oil Press - Stop Motor ***Turbo Pics Page 4**
« on: 27 February 2010, 17:17 »
I was driving back to home today and all of sudden got warning on Oil Press - Stop Motor, this message disappeared in like 2 seconds. Checked oil level, which is alright, what can be the cause of it  :undecided:

its difficult to say if its ok to drive it as i cant see or here the engine running, if you had low oil pressure you would have tapping noises as the oil fed tappets would be starved of oil, so if there is non of this i think it would be fine, but you need it checked out ASAP none the less!
