Oil pressure warning.

[stainesy]

Got my car out of the garage today. Drove it round the corner to my house. And suddenly got a red warning on dash screen saying STOP. WARNING. Oil pressure. STOP STOP.
So I pulled over turned engine off. Checked my oil level and gave it a once over and all seems fine. Then started it up again took it round the block and the warning light didn't come on again.

Any ideas why it did that? Scared the fcuk out of me.

it only did it once when i first got car out of garage this morning. been driving it all day since with no problem what so ever. the warning hasnt come on since that one time when i first started it.

best to get the pipe cleaned mate as ignoring like i did cost me a new engine  not all bad tho i got a very low mileage one in place of the fooked one

[stainesy]

But wouldn't the warning like come on again if there was a problem?

[cullygti]
