Oil...... STOP! - 1.8t aum
« on: 02 April 2014, 15:59 »
Recently driving the dash displayed 'oil' (showing a picture of the oil can) followed by 'STOP!' - its a 1.8t aum and i changed the oil about two weeks ago. There are no fault codes, the dash has no permanent lights and the oil level is fine also.

Any ideas what it could be? I thought it said 'low oil pressure' if that was the case but it literally just displays 'oil' and 'stop!' - could it be the level sensor?


Thanks in advance for any advice!  :smiley:

Haha right so after my gf being adamant for the last 10 minutes that it only displays 'oil' and 'stop!', she calls back and says 'oh actually it says 'Oil Press' 'Stop Motor'

I can see this has come up in a few times and am guessing the oil pump is on it's way out, so will give a quick search of the forum.

quick question if anyone knows, would a faulty oil pump cause the engine to cut out or will it just run like a bag of spanners?

It'll either be the sensor or the oil pickup will be blocked / getting blocked

Cheers guys, have been reading up and seems a relatively straightforward job if not a little time consuming!

Its more fiddly than anything, There are some bolts on the sump that are awkward as hell on the gearbox side to get to, you'll need a wobble piece and a 10mm socket and bar and some gasket sealant as it doesn't have a gasket just don't go mad on the sealant or you'll find it in the sump next time blocking the pick up pipe.
