Hi all,
Today I purchase a lovely 2007 A4 TFSI Special Edition with 82k. The car looks great and the engine pulled well on the test, I thought I had made a great buy.
Then came the 40 mile drive home... About 15 miles up the motorway the Oil Pressure warning came on, I pulled over and checked the oil level which was fine (oil changed last week). I let the engine cool before restarting and running the engine check which showed all OK.
I decided to push on a little and a few miles later the warning came on again before going off then on a few times and eventually staying on. Again I pulled over and the oil level was fine.. So I started the engine and let it idle for a few mins, the warning didn't come on.
I then drove very gently 60-65 mph and it didn't come on again until 1 mile from home.
Can anyone advise what the issue could be?
I am hoping just a sensor and not the oil pump?
Any ideas on the prices to fix either?
Thanks
Ben
