Ive noticed this is a pretty common problem (in terms of reading multiple post about it). Ive read a few peoples complaints about it where they replaced oil pumps, sending units, oil pressure switches and then checked the oil pressure. Everyones pressure turned out to be fine, but for some reason something is triggering the warning. ive never read one story of someone having the warning lights on then losing an engine. One person told me the roof drains get clogged and somehow water gets back there causing different electrical issues.

its getting warmer i dont think 5w40 would hurt.

BTW my car did the same exact thing. Everything has been replaced except the oil pump. Had the pan off and the pick up is spotless. Havent had a chance to actually check the pressure myself but since i did an oil change the warning has not re appeared.

- welcome and a great first question - DD (CA) 2015-03-20 13:10:14 (211 views)
- This may be a silly question, but is it the oil pressure or oil level warning that you're getting? - silva 2015-03-20 13:09:15 (208 views)
  - I believe it is the pressure light, it is red and not yellow. The shop did hook up a gauge... - NapoleonWilson 2015-03-20 13:54:11 (204 views)
- who cleaned the pickup screen? And who reinstalled the oil pan? - S4gasm (LotR) 2015-03-20 11:20:35 (201 views)
  - I did not personally see the screen being cleaned - NapoleonWilson 2015-03-20 11:37:21 (200 views)
    - I read about this with my b6 A4 1.8t. Most advised to replace the pickup screen instead of cleaning - inliner311 2015-03-20 16:06:12 (181 views)
      - Pickup screen is part of the pump (not removable) on the 2.7t - Timtheguru 2015-03-20 16:23:42 (169 views)
        
        if that's the case then either his pump wasn't replaced or the screen wasn't cleaned. - inliner311 2015-03-22 15:12:49 (160 views)
- You sure... - QCRAZY 2015-03-20 10:46:07 (231 views)
  - The sender was replaced when the oil pump was. I am planning on getting a second opinion either way - NapoleonWilson 2015-06-09 21:00:00 (177 views)
