I recently changed the oil and filter on my Fabia 1.2tsi 2011 model (petrol). 

 

Since the change I now get an intermittent red flashing oil light (with alarm for first few flashes) after driving it a few miles. Sometimes it flashes a few times, at other times it flashes for 30 seconds or a minute. Sometimes it comes back on after a minute or so, other a few minutes later. It never stays on longer than a minute or so. 

 

It usually goes away if I stop and restart the engine and only comes on after around four or five miles of driving. 

 

Engine sounds fine and oil levels are fine. No problems with performance. Filter is on firmly and I have checked the washer from the previous filter was removed OK. Haven't been able to take an oil pressure reading yet. 

 

The oil I used is 5W30

 

Filter is Bosch 50144067

Can you send me the VIN?

There was a change in filter part number at some point I seem to remember, need to know which side of the change yours is.

Filter change 05/2011 i seem to remember.

 

There are the threads on the Filter on too tight, and the seal not removed so 2 fitted and then the thread on dodgy filters. 

No, filter change was 8th to 9th March 2010, as I said straight from the parts catalogue in that thread you just bumped.

 

For cars built 09/03/10 onwards the genuine part number is 03C115561H.

I'll shift the dog off my lap and check your build date.

 

Yep, yours was built 27/05/2011, so more than a year after the change.

Genuine part number in previous post, price at Skoda currently £14.16 Inc VAT.

Or match aftermarket parts carefully to that number.

?

When were the Filters changed from the Black factory fit to the Silver non drip Silver ones, was that summer 2012 when the Oil capacity of the engines changed from 3.6 litres to 3.9 litres with 1.2 TSI,s.

There were members posted after that time of the wrong filters being fitted and not enough oil in from the service.

Part number change was on the dates I've posted.

 

I had the same problem after an oil change. Turned out to be a faulty oil pressure switch, £7 from Euro car parts. 10 mins to fit it.

Colour doesn't seem to be a reliable guide to getting the right part even for genuine filters. 

 

A quick bit of google imaging just now suggests that at the time of the split (between cars up to 08/03/2010 and cars from 09/03/2010) both filters were black.

 

Pre-change cars had 03C115561B, image below:

 

 

And post-change cars had  03C115561D, image below:

 

D is not a supersession of B, they are separate branches at this point. Both black.

 

Both of those parts have since been superseded,  for cars up to 08/03/2010 the suffix -B is replaced by suffix -J, now silver (-B was dropped on 01/12/2013, but that doesn't necessarily mean that -J wasn't fitted before that date, I think?)

 

 

 

 

Suffix -D for the later cars from 09/03/2010 onwards was dropped on 01/04/2014, replaced by suffix -H, image below, again silver:

 

If anyone can make sense of the Bosch (Halfords?) part number posted by the OP, I'd be happy to know.

Should the OP still be driving their vehicle with this fault?

 

I certainly would not with any question regarding the oil pressure, maybe if I had checked the live readings with VCDS and been satisfied but I would not be happy until I had resolved the warning light activation.

@J.R. I tend to agree, better to not drive it unless sure that the warning light isn't on justifiably.

The only circumstance that I would ignore it is if I knew that the pressure switch was faulty, which can often be judged by simply disconnecting the single-wire connector to it, and finding leaked oil within.

 

 

I bumped this last night since it pretty much covered the filter subject, so here it is just to keep with this thread.

The number on the filter is F026 407 183 and it's black rather than silver like the previous filter I removed. 

That cross references as OK within autodoc; where did you buy it from?

 

Next question then, can you find your oil pressure switch and check whether oil has leaked into the connector? Tends to be the only thing on the engine with a single wire connection.

 

 

 

@31rc  have you looked at the images in the first post of the thread that  @Rooted linked in a post above just now?  Compare pictures and see which yours matches.

Fixed - I think!

 

Looks like it was the filter. We ended up buying the exact same one as what was on there previously - a Mann w712/94. We've now driven about 100 miles with no issues or warning light. 

 

The Bosch filter that was causing issues had the same number as the one in the post @Rootedlinked to but was black not silver. Would that have been a factor?

 

Yes, wrong filter being supplied by Bosch under the correct part number, apparently. 

Was it from ECP? If so please make them aware that there is this problem.
