    Autocheck Oil warning

    I'm getting an oil warning from the autocheck just on the ignition, befiore the engine starts. The level reads fine and no warings when driving - oil pressure looks a bit low, but not much less than usual - 2 bar at idle to 5 during normal driving.. is this a switch or sender failure?

      2 bar at idle is fine you don't need to check any relay

        how come the warning on ignition? - 2 bar is only the minimum safe pressure is it not?

        It normally urns at 2.5 ish, and off the scale on normal driving

              mine is at 2.2 or 2.3 bar at idle and im using 10W60.Before the rebuild it was staying at 1.8bar and when hot even lower.I guess a good oil pump and good piston rings will give you a better oil pressure!

                        'behind' the rad? IIRC I noticed 2 switches / senders on the side of the block there when I was changing it last week
