Oil pressure warning? Testing the oil pressure. Wrecked Audi TT project. Pt 6.

- We had an oil pressure warning on our project TT. We decided to drop the sump and inspect the sump and oil pick up pipe/strainer, this made no difference. So we've bought an oil pressure test kit to try and pinpoint the issue.
Here is what we found.

I have to warn you that I have no formal automotive training, and have just learned by breaking stuff. If you can learn anything from my mistakes then great, but you do so at your own risk!
OMG you are the man wished I lived next door to you, thanks for the link leading me here made me feel a whole lot better think I have a bit of a problem ahead of me as the two difficult bolts to take oil pan off I lost a small socket hope I can find it once I get the pan off goes to show you got to have the right tools for any job ,the two video's I have see has been a big help many thanks I for one will subscribe.
Ha ha thanks 👌, I'm not sure my current neighbors would agree with you 😂. Glad the videos are of some help. Could you get the socket with a magnet on a stick? Good luck sorting it out 🤞 and thanks for subscribing.
Cheers Larcs 👍.
@@LarcsWorkshop Yeah that is my plan after I get the sump tray out just waiting for the right tool to come in the post

Love how you have fixed this poor Audi TT and thought it was very clever how you diagnosed that dodgy oil pressure sensor.
Thanks 😃.
Cheers Larcs 👍.
I'm really enjoying these TT videos, thanks for sharing and you have a new Sub 😀
@@TheDervMan Thanks 👍
great video, same problem. hoping its the sump and pickup filter but could end up going down this rabbit hole here
Thanks 😃, good luck sorting it out 🤞.
Cheers Larcs 👍
Nicely done. Well worked out.
Thanks 😃.
Cheers Larcs 👍
Fantastic videos, you should have a lot more subscribers.. keep up the good work 👍
Thanks, that's very kind 😃
Cheers Larcs 👍
I have the same issue with my new beetle 1.8t. then changed every damn sensor in the car, because they cheap an as you have everything open then why not. Finally the issue was solved and no biep inthe car anymore. Then when I drove it warm it came back the red oil can along with the biep. So now I do really not know what else to expect, and how finally fix this issue. Dont want to lose this wonderful engine. Wouldn't have a hint what it could be?
If you've checked everything else, it quite possibly could be a blocked oil pick up strainer or failing oil pump. Good luck sorting it out 🤞.
Great! Interesting and informative video. Just about to change the sensor on my son's TT. Hoping that we have the same outcome as you! Cheers
Thanks 😁. Let's hope it's just the sensor 🤞. Good luck sorting it out.
Cheers Larcs 👍
@@LarcsWorkshop Cheers Larcs. Just got home after changing the sensor. It was slightly different as ours has the BAM 225 engine, so the sensor was in a slightly different position, being on the top of the oil filter housing. Not entirely sure if it was easier or harder than the position of yours, but it was a bit fiddly to say the least. Regardless though, it worked!!! We've had months of stress and my son even changed the oil pump a while back to no avail, but all of that is behind us now.. Thanks for giving us some idea of what could be wrong and some guidance for the job. Beer tonight!!
@@StevesDaimlerV8 That's brilliant news, a well deserved beer indeed 🍻. Good job sorting it out 👌.
Cheers Larcs 👍
Very nice video. I had the same problem.
Thanks 😃. I really must get back on the TT, it's been ages, always something more important trumping it🙄.
Cheers Larcs 👍
I will update if this works on my car, if not I will try the oil pickup pipe
Thanks 👍. Good luck sorting it out 🤞
Yh i just bought a TT for £800. My red oil pressure light keeps coming on about 20 minutes into every journey. Panicked at first but I been driving it for 3 weeks now. Mechanic had a look and said it must be your switch, because if it was really low pressure you wouldn't of been able to drive more than 3 minutes let alone 3 weeks.
It's also had a recent oil pickup and sensor only a few years ago. Strange but I'm gonna keep on driving it lol
Thanks, you enjoying driving it?
@@LarcsWorkshop I am, i do really like it, apart from it really needs another 800 spent on it really. Bushes are knackered all round so plenty of knocks etc, dash pod is like a Christmas tree and the windows are temperamental.lol but all good otherwise
Thank you very much for this video great diag to I’m impressed
Thanks 😁, no problem.
Cheers Larcs 👍
Very good video loved it👍🏼
Thanks, that's very kind 😃.
Cheers Larcs 👍
Surprised you don't have more viewers, this is a high quality video. I'm going to change the oil pressure switch myself, and was wondering if I have to drain the oil before I loosen it?
Thanks for the kind comment 😃. When I changed mine I hadn't run the engine for a little bit and only a dribble came out, a rag underneath caught it. Have you got a deep socket? It's tricky without one. Good luck 🤞
Cheers Larcs 👍
@@LarcsWorkshop took of the contact, which was full of oil. Cleaned it up, and voila, no oil light:)
@@vfgguitar great news👌. Thanks 👍
@VFG Guitar i bet you dont have the car anymore...low oil pressure
Hopefully this works on my 04 1.8t b6 saloon bfb engine. Oil pressure light came on after mot 100 miles later 😅
Just found the channell, Gud Vid👍, Did you sell the TT?
Thanks, yes, still got the TT. It just keeps slipping down the list of things to fix at the moment.
Just bought a 2004 225 TT with same symptoms hope mines the same problem
Good luck 🤞, I hope it works out for you too👍.
Cheers Larcs
Nissan primastar oil pressure sensor
👍
Great Video fella, Gives me confidence in my 225
Low oil pressure came, stopped immediately, got relayed back, AA run diag on it, no faults found, so, I bit the bullet, and replaced strainer, oil pump, oil sensor switch, thermostat, ancillary water pump, and coolant sensor…all genuine parts from TPS, car ticks over lovely, but, got to 2k revs, and oil pressure light back up…WTF! ?
Pressure test revealed:
Upon Cold start i got 48PSI
13PSI at idle 1k 90c
48PSI at 2K
51PSI at 3K
Any ideas??
Thanks 😁. The only thing I can think of is maybe faulty wiring to, or a faulty plug on the pressure switch?
Good luck fixing it 🤞.
Cheers Larcs 👍
@@LarcsWorkshop Got new OEM switch on order from TPS, as for wiring, god help me!! lol
@@darrenllewellyn491 👍
Nice video
Thanks 😃.
Cheers Larcs 👍
The best thing about this video is that you didn't find out that your oil pressure sensor worked. :)
Thanks
bonjour comment faire pour débrancher la prise du capteur merci
There's a little tab on the side, operate it then pull it off.
I bet he didnt show that oil light it never was one!!!!
No he didn't 🙄
