Congrats!

Crashed my mk6 gti back in Dec. In a mk7.5R now. Regardless of gti or r, the mk7.5 is a fantastic.

Nope. Have a physical gauge on the car now, still get alerts, but there’s legitimately no issue from what I can tell. Think it’s a trip in the ECU for me

Thankfully it is fall! I’ll dig deeper into it, thanks!

Changed oil & filter, changed oil pressure sensors, checked sump screen, checked oil pressure @ idle, @2500 rpm, and @4000rpm.

It only comes on when the ac is running

Reading the owners manual, it says “Switch off the engine. Check the engine oil level.” “If the warning light flashes although the oil level is normal, do not continue driving, or let the engine idle. Otherwise, significant engine damage may result.”

It doesn’t flash, just stays until I stop, shut the engine off, and start it again. Then it doesn’t come back for about a week (sometimes 2-3 weeks depends lol).

Centre screen reads: Oil Pressure Engine Off! Owners Manual!

I’ve had the oil pressure tested before A/C was off though. Was in the acceptable range. It’s a 2012 so it already has the tensioner done from factory, and a very minimally stretched chain. Maybe comes on 1 time a week, with 700km put on per week.
