I have a 1.9 TDI Jetta 03. My engine was rebuilt and now it's throwing the oil warning. It only does it like 10-15 minutes after fully warmed up and smokes a bit more at that time and not while warming up. If the pickup is clogged, will it trigger the warning any any operating temperature or only when it fully warms up ?

I have my 2017 golf sportswagon in the shop right now because the stop low oil pressure light came on. They put a new oil valve and oil pressure sensor, I thought they had figured it out. Now they want to do an oil treatment. They said it’s still doing the warning light after it warms up. Would it be better to pay them to pay them to pull the pan instead of the oil treatment? When the warning light came on, I got the oil changed immediately but after a mile of driving, it came on intermittently. I just bought this car a couple months ago and it only has 55,000 miles on it. Help!

I have a question about any specific sound during driving on low oil pressure. While ago I had a ride with low oil pressure and the engine started rattling. I was taken by the tow truck, but the issue isn't sorted yet. There is a very clear knocking noise on idle and becomes a rattling on higher RPMs. I'm not sure if the noise is caused by the low oil pressure or the engine is gone already. I think I will handle to rebuild the engine, I've already replaced some parts of the engine gearbox, turbo cam chain tensioner and more, but I don't know if the internals are gone.

How to put oil pump back?

hello my vehicle 2015 ww Jetta 1.6 TDI. About a year ago, my vehicle gave a low oil pressure signal. 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? What's your opinion?

@PistonShack

4 жыл бұрын

Good day! Sounds to me your engine crankshaft clearances are getting bigger way out of the manufactures specifications. Probably, when you replaced previous engine work wasn't done properly or engine engine experienced oil starvation at some point after. Oil pump itself doesn't create the pressure, clearances in-between the engine components do. How that oil pressure drop happened during the operation?

Okay, I see. First check for any engine wear, look for any metal shaving on the bottom of the oil pan. Check oil pump pressure spring regulator valve.

@@serkanpordy5206 I agree, you need to know what cause the low engine oil pressure. Software won't effect oil pressure directly but it could happen due to oil dellusion with fuel, incorrect fuel ratio and fuel trims, ect. Data does not lie. If specs were in limits at the time when engine was assembled, it doesn't mean engine is okay right now. Could be two possible reasons: poor quality parts installed or low quality engine rebuild work was done. Possibly combination of both. It was alright for awhile then your engine started to fail. Check those thing I told you previously, then we can move forward. Start by Dropping the oil pan and look for shaving like I did in my video.
