Oil Indicator Flashing Warning


Recommended Posts

Posted

A few weeks ago I noticed that when I started by 1.4 SX Auto, instead of showing the little o's showing oil level, it was flashing as empty. It only happened a few times to start with but now seems to happen every morning. Only seems to happen when i start the car up for the first time in the morning.

 

I've checked the oil and it is close to full, but could probably do with changing.

 

The handbook indicates that flashing as empty shows a fault, but any idea what it could be? Could an oil and filter change sure the fault?

 

Thx!

probably just needs new oil and filter and see if that sorts it failing that check the wiring to the oil sensor or change the sensor if it persists,

 

it might be worth having the oil pressure tested because that would mean the oil pump is failing or the sump filter is obstructed and very common on Audi ( poor sods ) j/k
