Just figured I'd add a comment saying I recently received the low oil pressure on my '07 A4 Avant. I had just recently performed an oil change about 200-300 kms prior to receiving the warning. I finally got around to having a look at it today, and it seems it was related to the oil filter. I always purchase either OEM or MANN Filters, but when I was purchasing they were out of both. Unfortunately I can't recall brand the filter was, but this is just to note for people to try not to sway from the standard OEM or known/proven brands. Also, after changing I noticed that the engine still seemed to be running a little loud, and it wasn't until I gave it a bit of gas that it quieted down and code was cleared. I have driven it slowly around my area for about 10 minutes and it seems to be running fine now. Great video BTW!!! I do a lot of minor repairs myself, but rarely get right into the engine internals, and this was great!

Hi it depends on the model of car you are working on on this particular model and on most VW and Audi cars you have to remove the oil pressure switch on this motor it is just above the oil filter I remember the older VW had 2 oil pressure switch one on the end of the cylinder head and the other one on the oil filter flange so when you find and remove the oil pressure switch and then you screw an oil pressure gauge with the correct thread size and pitch and then start the engine check the oil pressure cold and then if you see that there is enough oil pressure to continue and run the engine and then bring it to around 80 deg cel. Oil temp. Check in a repair manual for rpm specs vs oil pressure .

After a long interval, we gave the same warning again and we made a pressure measurement, the pressure was low 2000 rpm: 1.2 bar. The oil pump, oil stump, oil jets changed and the solution was not removed. All engine bearings changed and overhaul. The problem is not solved pressure again low. What could be the problem?

I bought a 2002 audi A6 and when I took it to the mechanic we found out the previous owner attached the oil pressure sensor wire to the oil pan. My mechanic thinks the oil pump might be failing and he tampered with the sensor to avoid detection. I asked the previous owner and he said the pump was fine but somebody grounded the wire because the light kept coming on. I don't know what to do. Check the pressure and if it's fine chalk it up to nothing or ask the previous owner for our money back?

Not sure what the owner is going to do with it I would love to fix it but there is 3 major issue with it 1. Is low oil pressure and 2. Low compression and 3 oil consumption to do it right the head need to be rebuilt the oil filter flange needs to be replace in the hope that it fix the oil pressure issue if not a new ballencer shaft module @ $1700.00 to fix the oil consumption is to put new rings minimum but to do it right is to put the updated Pistons $ 400.00 x 4 and then the intake cam is it ok as far the fuel pump cam lobe goes ? So the cheapest thing to do is put a good use engine in it I looked in to it and a golf GTI engine would work and they don't have the oil consumption issue like the longitudinal engine do so what do you think I still would like to know if the oil filter flange is to be blamed.

Really that was it? Damn and after going through checking everything too. Hey good to know for sure. Now remember the cam timing lobes video you did, well I went to an 04 golf2.0fsi and the camshaft lobes with belt on were same angle, but with my 06 plate the lobes like that threw up loads of codes. So with that vag tool t10252, I just couldn't get the lobes right. So and remembering the part online saying the cut outs in camshafts had to be vertical, i used a steel ruler and a wood working square. The exhaust camshaft was marked off camshaft sprocket, and with the woodworking square setting up intake camshaft to be perfectly vertical; i tried the engine again. Perfect. The lobes dont have to mirror each other between exhaust and intake camshafts when fitting chain on my BVY engine. I called a feiend and checked camshaft part numbers on these two vehicles. They even have different camshaft part numbers. Interesting I think. So 2.0fsi time up differently. You have to be specific about the engine code and then use the correct method for that specific code.

I bought a "new" used engine this week, hoping to use parts from it to fix mine. and the last weeks I been looking at videos and read forums about this engine, and it seems to have so many weak spots / common problems that have disastrous results, so I am a bit scared, like what should I do to prevent it from happening again? and yet this engine also seem to be very popular for some reason, I think it is because you can tune it quite a lot with little effort. idk.

So i was driving down the road and decided to hit the gas and the let the car get to kind of high RPM before shifting (not in red) and upon decelerating my oil pressure light came on. Car began to run louder as i drove and i continued to drive about a quarter mile down the road to my house and parked.

Rob Gee so is your car throwing a fault code for low Boost I think it would say something like boost pressure not reached or under boost or something similar if it does then the first thing to do is check to see if any hoses are loose or unplugged but most likely is the diverter valve is probably faulty especially if it had the older design with the orange or green diaphragm. This is the new style part 06H145710DKT the part is bolted on the side of the turbocharger with 3 Allen bolts there is a connector with 2 wires if you unplug the connector and see lots of oil in the connector then most likely the valve is defective but I've seen oil with a good valve make sure you don't break the connector on the valve it's the same design as the one on you're air flow meter connector but smaller you have to push in on the connector and with you're thumb press the tab back and then pull on the plug practice on a more accessible connector you will figure it out.

Did you check all the video the car had a low oil pressure because of an aftermarket oil filter that the owner had just installed and after replacing it with a OEM quality filter the oil pressure was OK there was no abnormal wear on the ballencer shaft module like I was expecting. Then the compression was check and it was low on some cylinders don't remember witch one have to watch the video again but a long story short it had burnt exhaust valves and a blown head gasket between two cylinders I don't remember in what conditions was the fuel pump lifter and lobe but if it was worn I'm sure I would have changed it like I have on other FSI engine with the same design i usually suggest replacing the lifter at least every 80 000 km's for the first one and 60 000 km's for all subsequent replacement.

Hey man, let me ask you a question: I have a 2.0 TFSI, same as this car and got 9.4 bar on all 4 cylinders. it's got about 250 000 km on it (dash says 190 000) It's very low for this engine, what I've heard it should be around 13 bar. Also from time to time I get 3 error codes: low performance for the cat, air fuel ration to low on idle and something about low engine power. I'm thinking timing belt or chain issue. Can you give me any other hints?

one thing i will say is if you have a cat code then youve burned up the material inside and it has to be replaced or no matter what you do the light will not go away and catalytic converters are extremely senstive if you drive it while your car is miss firing for a short time it will ruin the cat because its dumping unburned fuel into it and burning it in the cat which ruins it im afraid..
