Oil pressure light + STOP light on

[squidge1992]

Hi all. Was driving today and all of a sudden the oil pressure light and stop light came on. Oil level is good, as is temperature (sitting between 2-4 bars). Can't say I've noticed any change in engine noise, but when you're concentrating it you just never know!

Lights only come on above 1600-2000rpm and go out whenever car is turned off and restarted.

Have bought a new pressure sensor from eurocarparts for around £5.60 (3 bar one). Had a look down beside the oil filter but I can't find the where the sensor goes so leaving it to the garage in the morning.

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Cheers!

New switch put in and hasn't cleared the problem. Oil filter was taken off and is dry. Engine flush, new oil and filter will be done this afternoon. Has anyone got any ideas??

Head gasket?

It isn't losing any coolant nor is it overheating. The garage says the oil pump probably needs replaced. Does this sound about right? 😞😞

Get a bucket then take of your oil filter and disable the engine from starting and then turn over engine on starter and see if oil comes out filter housing , if none comes out your pump its fucked , also check the oil pressure relief valve is not stuck open
