Evening all, I have a 51 plate 1.9 tdi and on starting up I get a buzzer and and a message saying " oil sensor".

Can any one tell me where this sensor lives and what it does?

Is it easy to replace?

Cheers.

saying "oil sensor"? Is that on maxidot, or a warning light on the dash, or does your car speak to you in Kit style (aka Knight Rider)?

It appears in the window where the mpg figures etc appear.Just after it reads "fasten seat belt".

Plus the temp gauge is reading erratically, one minute reading normally---them drops back to zero..

My camper used to do this,it was the temp sendor that was faulty, presume this is the same.

Prob is ---finding the little blighters.

Not sure on the check sensor message as my car does not have maxidot... does the manual give you any clues?

thank you for the very helpful pic mbames, will get that sorted.

Will have to look at manual, no idea what a maxidot is.technology passed me by years ago.

maxidot is a matrix display, which I am guessing your Octy must have, as my 2001 does not have it, and it can't display any words on the dash..... I think it doubles up for the satnav stuff too.

Otherwise, in the meantime I would suggest a quick manual check of your oil level, just to be on the safe side!

could be the oil level sensor in the sump
