    Hi,

    I've just had the oil changed 2 weeks ago and everything was fine until yesterday when i turned on the engine and 2 minutes later when started driving the Oil Pressure Red light came on. Ive stopped the engine and turned it back on a few minutes later and the light didnt come back on.
    Started driving again, and now everything seems to be fine.
    Any ideas?
    The oil pressure sensor was also replaced 2 weeks ago.

    The oil pump drive is probably slipping, stop driving it or you will destroy the turbo and then the engine which will render the car scrap.

    Is there any way to check if the pump drive is slipping considering it only happened once? Drove the car home yesterday fine Nd to work today no issues.

    Engine code ?

    Stop driving the car otherwise it's goodbye engine and turbo , these engines have a awful history with lost oil pump drive .

    Read.. V important .



    Ignore the chain , chain sprocket and tensioner as yours will be gear driven .

    I don't really know much about cars obviously, but could this not be just a sensor error or something, as the light only came on once?
    Will a diagnose show any error codes?
