Call out to an Audi Q5 in Ballyclare for diagnostic and repair. The Oil pressure light would appear on the dash after a few minutes of driving. ⚠️
Checking the oil pressure via having the gauge hooked up confirmed the engine did indeed have seriously low oil pressure (0.2 BAR) on idle. This meant it wasn’t a sensor or wiring issue and further investigation was required.🧐
Next step was to get the engine sump removed and check both the pickup filter along with the pump and its internals. Luckily enough we found what we were hoping for and the filter was badly blocked. Some light wear on the pump internals, although nothing excessive.
Work carried out:
✅Oil pump Hex drive replacement.
✅New pick-up filter.
✅Engine oil and filter service.
✅New oil pressure sensor (preventative maintenance).
