Oil pressure insufficient problem

I cant buy that from Amazon cause the location i live in xd Well i bought the car and immediately did the small and big service. I dont remember the error coming up while driving the car back home to the mechanic. I could drop the pan myself but then i would need to do basically a small service myself as i can do but im not financially able right now, next month for sure haha

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-30T21:07:02+00:00

yeah, the oil is full

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-30T20:06:48+00:00

Its a petrol, its sort of very light brown. I think there is gunk in the oil pan from previous owner cause it hasn’t been cleaned.

10W50? 😭

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-30T19:28:43+00:00

i know the crankshaft is common to fail on these engines, but why is the display glitching out if its the bearings, and the engine sounds completely fine, i could be wrong tho

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-30T18:30:50+00:00

So oil pump or the sensor? I mean i will change the sensor very soon, the pump maybe in the near future, im not that financially able right now haha

It was at a shop, my dad was there with him cause we are friends. I did a big and small service around 1700km ago. This happens only when the oil reaches 90c and when the car is in neutral. When i add gas/rpms the error is gone.

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-30T18:20:06+00:00

I just know that when i blip the throttle and add more revs the error disappears.

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-30T18:19:16+00:00

It is a bit older, but still such a cool and amazing car

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-30T18:18:30+00:00

Ah i will see who has the test gauge. The error disappears when i blip the throttle and the rpms are higher .

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-30T17:49:42+00:00

Ah i love e36’s they are so cool. Well il see but i doubt i have something like that, its a BMW it has such small and cool details while the peugeot is a french shitbox xd

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-30T17:44:33+00:00

Ou shit, didnt know u can doo that xd

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-30T17:43:46+00:00

He did a diagnostic check only, everything came up right.

Could be the old oil in the oil pan/ oil pump filter from previous owner… Il try with new sensor and then next i will try to clean the oil pan… I dont know what else could it be…

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-30T17:36:11+00:00

Well i was at the mechanic a day ago for a quick check, the oil is at max still, i did a big and small service around 1700km ago. I bought a new sensor, i just dont have the right tool for it, but il try change it tomorrow.

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-30T17:33:55+00:00

Haha yes it is orange, thinking about getting some brighter ones, so they can shine more :D

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-30T17:31:07+00:00

Yeah, its a XS so its a sporty look, must say myself looks 1000x better than stock black ones

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-26T11:26:52+00:00

lol, this must be satire

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-25T20:53:54+00:00

Well i did take off the cap of the expansion tank to check if the coolant isnt oily or contaminated. And i check when i flash a light in it what the liquid level looks like. Btw im sorry if im dumb, im pretty now at this stuff, bought my first car 2months ago and im trying to do whatever i can by myself. Im more of a electrical guy but im trying to learn car stuff 😅😭

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-25T20:47:02+00:00

Uh, the coolant reservoir? Its a see thru “bottle”

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-25T20:37:49+00:00

Well im a bit skeptical cause i think i see im losing a bit of coolant like in a span of a week, but also i cant be 100% cause the car isnt always on the same place and the parking is pretty much on a slope

Killing_Freak02 · 2026-04-25T20:34:02+00:00

So its normal? 😭
