    Hi i have an 2011 audi TT 2.0tsi cesa engine ea888 gen 2.that has a low oil pressure light, i need somebody very knowledgeable on the 'Oil pressure light' problem as this is a tricky one, please have a read of the problems im having with my car if u can, any ideas on where to go near west mids bham/where to check on the car etc will be appreciated


    The car mechanically has 0 psi oil pressure at idle hot or cold on a test gauge but oil pressure light illuminates before starting vehicle key in on position. When running the mechanical gauge flicks up in pressure as soon as i rev the car past idle but its still below recommended (approx 12 psi at2k rpm )but it sounds fine and drives fine until EPC light kicks in and puts it into limp mode( unplugged the sensors to stop the oil alarm going nuts) . Ive tried replacing the Oil pump with x3 different units, a few different oil filters, tried new complete oil filter housing, ive changed the pick up, n428 valve, my mechanic also rebuilt the balancing shafts as we found on the internet they can get blocked and restrict oil flow apparently with no success, he changed timing chain and tensioner as it was rattling slightly on start up and it still is rattling and also tried oil anti drain valve in the head while we where there, the car has also done about 5 thousand miles with the oil pressure light and apparent low oil pressure and seems fine which is very confusing i just want the cars full power back and rid of this light the car also is only 32k genuine miles, and also the oil pressure light illuminates with keys on before vehicle started which makes me think im oil pressure testing it wrong and it could be electrical im no mechanic but my mechanic friends are all stumped and say who knows. shall i take it to audi?
    if so does anybody know which one will be best for these problems
    Thanks for reading .
    ive probably also tried other parts on the vehicle but i cant remember at the minute.
    This is also my first post on a forum so apolagies if any mistakes thanks

    0 oil pressure viewed on an external pressure test gauge or retro fitted dash gauge? The oil light should come on (from memory) with the ignition and go off immediately the engine starts. The recommended minimum 2Bar @2k rpm @80 degrees is too low in itself, it must be 3Bar with 1 Bar at hot idle. What is the fault code in the ECU bringing on the EPC light? I had this on the twin charger 1.4 a couple of years ago, I rebuilt the engine five times (initially just four new Nural pistons) to various degrees until it was a bare acid dipped, decked and pressure tested block, polished, miked, Plastigauge checked crank and with the new pistons, new genuine head, cams, cam carrier, oil pump and all new bearings with a full timing chain set... when I started it up it still sounded like a skeleton masturbating in a biscuit tin so I gave up and fitted a genuine VAG £5K exchange engine as I was losing the will to live and had lost £20K! If you take it to Audi or anyone else, presented with what you have done, if they have any measure of self preservation and common sense, that is what they will suggest they fit; 06J 100 040 at £5965.29 inc VAT plus fitting.

    Hi thanks for your reply, its showing 0 psi on mechanical gauge hooked upto the oil pressure sensor port unless i rev the car and then it shoots up to about but is still around half of what it should be,il have to recheck the fault codes as i cant remember what its showing today to be honest , but the car sounds absoloutley fine and has done thousands of miles with the oil light on it ,it has a slight tiny rattle chatter at start up every now and then but other than that it will rev to redline with plenty of power when it decides it wants to sometimes deciding to go in limp mode, i guess it would be crazy paying audi another 6k for an engine that nobody can ever repair, i bey they will they want me to buy another every 6 months or so lol, il check codes and get back to you later cheers


    Edit
    Also if car is held over 2.5k light goes away
