Low oil pressure

Featured Replies

Hello guys. My superb is clocked 60000km. Recently I am observing low oil pressure warning light. 

I filled 5W30 and oil filter just 2000km before. After that only this problem started within 600-700km of running. My oil level is ok. I am getting the light ON once i start up the ignition and stays until oil reaches to its operating level. After few miles, warning goes off. 

I checked engine noise, which seems to be normal. I am not sure about OP sensors as I doubt why light goes away when engine is fully heated up to it's normal level. It means both OP switches(F22, F378) should be working normally.

Anyone has clue on this issue, please advise. Here mechanics are not so informative so i selected this forum as I see alot useful information from guys using Skoda.

@harry812 Welcome to the forum.

I will flag your post to a Mod and they can move your post to the Superb section.

Hi Harry maybe this info is useful... seems to mention level sensor as a fault.

 

What filter did you use, you are happy with the quality? I see you changed the oil, is there a service interval that needs to be reset?

Always good to get the actual pressure readings from a garage for peace of mind, I'd drive it as little as possible until I knew what was going on.
Sorry I can't be more help

Only use genuine oil and filters, I've had issues with this myself when I've used cheap oil or if the oil is dirty as in done more than 10,000 miles.

Hello guys, thanks for replies. Both oil and filter are genuine. Oil is 5w30( castrol magnetec) and filter is from genuine source exactly same as factory fitted. 

Recently i tested the pressure switches with multimeter while opening their connectors. I started the enginne and checked the continuity of switches.  I am wondering the switches do not change from NO (normally open) to closed state. 

I will see with gauge plugged in to know actual pressure. Will post if any further progress is made.
