Thank you so much! I took my car to the shop and they told me I either needed a new engine, or mines would have to be taken out, torn down, oil pump replaced, rebuilt, and put back in. A friend told me it may be a sensor. I Google the sensor which came with a link to your video. As soon as I popped the hood to look at the sensor, the first thing I noticed was the wire connected to the sensor was broken. I just stripped both ends of the wires and twisted them back together and wrapped it in electrical tape. Problem solved!
@@haynes8 this what I’m dealing with rn , mfs had my car back and forth for almost a year LOL I’m about to buy the part and study your video do it myself 🙄😂
Your video HELPS alot bro, it works for my 2009 vw gti mk5. Haven't seen the warning light so far. Also, "people" .CHECK your OIL if it has any residues in it, and clean the oil pan if so.....
@@haynes8 followed every step demonstrated in the video and it was done within 3 mins! thank you. I drove it all day and did not have any problems and I am no longer getting any warnings.
mine came on our 2010 cc too. I checked the oil level and it was good. I recently did an oil change 3 weeks ago. I read online that it can sometimes be the oil pickup tube which has a filter on the end of it which gets clogged. I removed the oil pan to be sure it was not the culprit. It was perfectly clean. I guess these engines can have sludge issues if the owner or previous owners use no synthetic oil. I read to test the oil pressure too to be sure the pump is working correctly. I'm going to replace the sensor and test the pressure next. Thanks for the video!
gnebaud Bezi ... try replacing the sensor. It only takes a few minutes. If the problem goes away, then it is fixed. if you still have low oil pressure warnings then there is another problem and you need to have it checked out.
Same motor my 09 Tiguan has and I'm having the same issue. Runs fine and there are no loud noises or loss of power (which could indicate bad oil pump, clogged pickup tube or several other things) so I'm hoping this is the problem. This issue just started happening to me yesterday, I went about 75 miles on freeway and as soon as I turned off and got down to 25 mph the low oil pressure light started flashing so I pulled over and shut off motor. When I restarted the motor the light had gone out. Jumped back on the freeway and went 75 miles back to my home with no issue, as soon as I left freeway and got down to 25 mph the light started flashing again. Got home and switched off motor and restarted, light had gone out. Ordering a new sensor right now, should be here tomorrow and we'll see how it goes, fingers crossed. Thanks for the video.
@@tryharderttvs8275 wow! Time flies, mine was the engine belt shredding out and it hit the wire tgat connects to the sensor, hence the “no pressure” light on the dash. Lmk if you got questions…
I hope this fixes mine just switched out sensor. Same low oil pressure warming light let spray for the best will leave feed back of works I hope and pray it does only strted to happen when I changed to full senthetic oil.
Leave me ask you, not the oil pressure sensor but the clip that goes in there, how do I know it’s tight and won’t come out, that piece pops off, maybe I’m not pressing it in enough
thank you for sharing this video. Were you able to solve Engine Low Pressure issue with sensor replacement? I assumed that problem is much more complicated than just sensor replacement.
I feel pertinent information is always left out of some of these videos and especially this one.... the characteristics and symptoms of a defective oil sending unit is the oil light will intermittently flash on and off /or stay on...and or they leak usually on all cars eventually
Actually, if someone is watching this video they already know their oil light is flashing and that there is a problem somewhere. This serves the purpose of helping address the problem.
If oil pressure is chronically low, say for thirty minutes to an hour, will engine temperature increase? I ask as my 2010 CC Sport engine temperature is normal while the low oil light often goes on. Oil level is normal.
Hey bro i have a question I have mk6 and when the oil temp comes over 100 c and i make a kickdown i come the epc light and oil temp is that and oil temp senesor issue or not ?
I've had the flashing oil pressure and chime going on my 2010 Tiguan for nearly a year. Replaced the sensor, (no change) oil pan dropped and pick up tube inspected (all good), pressure checked (all good) and even drove without the oil pressure sensor connected and STILL the oil light and chime comes on...it's been driving perfectly fine but no more ideas what to do. Edit: Over 3 years now with oil light flashing and have disconnected the speaker because of the chime. Oil pump is working fine, oil pressure fine, vehicle runs great.
@adason shambare not exactly. Im currently in the same situation as Steve. But only difference is I did change the pump and still getting the same flashing oil pressure sign.
I'm currently experiencing the same issue, however the sensor is NOT the solution. I've cleaned oil pan, sump and the feed line to the pump, but it didn't worked for me :( it's 1.8 TSI BZB, does anybody have the same problem ?

Make sure the timing belt tensioner has been or gets upgraded. I'd replace the sensor as seen in the video to see how the oil light goes. Start there and rediagnose
I have a 2014 passat 1.8 tsi, and making a clacking sound like its starving for oil but oil is full. Could it be one of the two sensors or could it be the vvt valve?
You have a problem with the oil pump most likely. I would get a diagnosis from VW. If you're running without oil for periods of time you'll seize the engine.
oil pump is comon on these engines, i had same problem with 2010 vw passat 2.0tsi, i did oil pressure sensor, i cleaned the pick up oil the problem didnot resolve i had to do oil pump and i did not have that problem anymore
So when I barely hit the gas pedal or I gas up slow my EPC light flashes on then goes off, anyone know about that? Also when I gas up sometimes it takes a while to actually start moving forward, it’s very delayed

yes... I have had no oil pressure warnings since the replacement.

if i change the sensor its gonna be good?

@@tryharderttvs8275 did you check your oil level?
@@Anythingblaugrana yes doesnt affect the pressure getting to camshafts,
Was the oil light flashing or did you have "oil pressure stop engine" flashing on the dash?

Thanks allot
Same location as 2006 vw eos 2.0 fsi?

Your oil pressure sensor may be malfunctioning. Try replacing it first as it is inexpensive and easy to do.
I bought one from Autozone today but doesn't seem to fit. The part where u screw in seems too small. Do you know the part number
Tapping in the sensor and placing a T would work for turbo feed?
Thank you

I am not familiar with the 1.8. I would say that is probably not a sensor issue.
@@haynes8 so probably the vvt valve?
On oil pressure sensor which colour goes up nd which goes down
can someone guide me where is the oil pressure on seat leon mk2
Do I need to disconnect the battery before doing this?
No need to disconnect the battery, it only takes a couple of minutes to replace.
do you need to dump oil before the sensor change ??
No. There may be a drip or two from the sensor, but its positioned so there should be no leaks.
@@haynes8 thanks , and for the coolant sensor ? will that need to be drained ?
That little wire is leaking oil now on vw cc 2010(broke) where can I buy one/if can

Yes. No more issues after replacing
@@haynes8 thanks for the reply 👍
Ok but you didn't show if it fixed your problem. That woulda been nice to know.
I think it goes without saying if someone posts a video of a solution to an issue they're having, it was successful.
I’ve replaced it twice and it still comes on. Help?
You have a problem with the oil pump most likely. I would get a diagnosis from VW. If you're running without oil for periods of time you'll seize the engine.
Hi, can you please tell me where is the fuel pressure sensor located. Thank you
It's in the video
@@MrHotstuff011 that’s the oil, the fuel is somewhere else
I know where tht is but I can’t describe it
right below the air intake manifold, I believe it connects to the fuel rail (to detect the pressure)
Does oil have to be drained
No. Oil does not have to he drained. You get a couple of drops of oil when removing the sensor. That should be it.
Help me
Whats a peoblem my car passat cc 2011.
Oil pressure engin off
Owners manual!
Its possible the oil pressure sensor is bad.
There is no button on the bottom of the connector. Any suggestion?
There should be a small tab to press. It's hard to see if it's facing away from you. Find a small mirror so you can get an idea of where it is.
on mine there was connections that you slide back to unlock the connector and then just pull the connector off
I cannot get the connector off. Is it one tab that you pull out or push in?
Do you also have 2010 Passat? I cannot get the connector off and it's driving me crazy
If you can send me a photo to know where you are
i have the problem ..oil pressure somebody can help me
oil pump is comon on these engines, i had same problem with 2010 vw passat 2.0tsi, i did oil pressure sensor, i cleaned the pick up oil the problem didnot resolve i had to do oil pump and i did not have that problem anymore
My sensor is only acting up once I get off the highway.
So when I barely hit the gas pedal or I gas up slow my EPC light flashes on then goes off, anyone know about that? Also when I gas up sometimes it takes a while to actually start moving forward, it’s very delayed
did you get this resolved? same issue here with an 08 passat
