Golf/GTI VI :: 2010 - Oil Pressure Low Warning Light / Engine Shut Off
Nov 29, 2015
So I was driving home yesterday, drove fine for about 14mi. Then I got a oil pressure low warning light shut off engine. The engine sounded no weird noises or anything so I shut it off checked the oil and it was full and fairly clean. Started it back up sounded fine drove it almost all the way home and it came back on, again no noises and oil was full. I noticed though that it came on mostly coming to a stop or taking off when the rpms hit about 1500-1700.
So I went to the shop I work at and hooked a pressure gauge up and I got 15psi. At idle and 35psi. at 2000rpms. With the engine temp in the normal range. I got the spec from all data which only shows the spec for the 2000 rpm range no idle spec, which was 29psi-65psi I think. So it sounded like it was okay. So I went to advance got a new oil pressure switch it didn't work.

Got a 2010 gti. Stage one with magnaflow Catback. This has happened three times now. Driving normal and fine then all of a sudden car says OIL PRESSURE SHUT OFF NOW. Then goes away after a second. Then wont happen again for a couple weeks. Why it would say this?? Oil levels are fine. Checked them. Took to a mechanic said everything on the oil side seems fine as well.

My warning light for my tire pressure came on, I fixed the tires and now it won't go off. Is there a reset button I need to press? I can't find it in the manual ...

It was very cold in the morning yesterday and my tire pressure warning light came on. I had a funny feeling that it was related to the temperature but it didn't ever go off so I called Toyota today and they said to drop by with it and they would check it out. On the way there after work I got rear-ended. So sad. I thought it was just the bumper but the hatch won't latch properly so they said they would have to 'pull something out...". It was going to be about $800 for a new bumper but now will be more. I'm going tomorrow to see their collision guys about a quote to fix it. My poor car. I have to admit that even with a dented bumper the car still looks good!!! I don't know how I'm going to manage for the two days it takes to get it fixed. I have to re-learn how to use one of those key things.
The Toyota service person told me that he had 14 cars in today alone to reset the tire pressure warning lights that came on because of the cold weather. He said my tire pressure was fine. Just my bumper needs a little work.

Today morning when I started the engine my tire low pressure warning lighted up, blinked for about 30 seconds and is now ON. It happens every time I start the car. My tires are at 38 PSI ( just re checked)
I can't find anything in the manual that shows how to reset the damn warning light.

Today when I was driving home from work and getting off the Freeway the yellow triangle flashed and the MFD said "Low Engine Oil Pressure" and the car beeped. It was only on for a few seconds then went off. The off ramp was one of those looping ones and I was taking it pretty fast probably around 50 MPH but I have done that many times before...

the indicator light is on because of the cold morning. All four tires are a few pounds low and I correct.
Back inside the vehicle, the indicator is still on! I get out to check the spare but, cannot because the valve stem is on top! And, my shirt is all dirty!
At home, I lower the spare and check/add air. Raise spare, put tools away. Now I know how to lower the spare.
Our basic Chevy vans at work let you know tire pressure in each of their four tires.

I think my tire pressure warning light is malfunctioning. I check all the tires with different tire gauges and they are all showing around 40 psi. I reset the system by holding down the button and let the light flash 3 times after I check them. It is only sporadic and does not stay on unless one of the tires is low. I did have a loose valve stem, that I tightened myself. When it does this it seems to come on and flash before going off and does not stay on. Sometimes it stays on for a little while and then goes off. Could it be a bad sensor?

n the 2012 Prius how would you reset the low tire warning light once the tires are brought up to proper pressure?

I've changed the pressure switch 3 times now (1.4 bar, 1.4 bar, then 1 bar which is stock), checked oil pump, checked pressure with external gauge,..everything is fine. The light won't go away......what else could it be? It's usually an issue of pressure or the switch....certainly not for me.

So last week I got my new smf flywheel installed but it wasn't without issue. While putting everything back together, somehow the plastic side to side shift lever broke. I had already ordered a sigma six shifter so I had them put it in.
Now I picked up my car and had a lot of trouble putting it into first, and ended up in third several times. So after about a mile or two I pulled into a gas station to check it out. While turning at a very slow speed within the gas station, I got a warning on the mfi screen that said something like "low oil pressure! Engine off!"
The engine didn't cut off and the warning went away after a second.
I drive the rest of the way home since everything seemed fine besides the shifter. I checked the oil at home and the dipstick was dry! I couldn't believe it. So this morning i adjusted the shifter and it's super smooth now, then I added a quart of oil. Still barely at the min line so I added another half quart, which finally got it into the middle area. I added the rest of the second quart after that. I did run the engine then let it sit to measure.
Car is at almost 28k. My last oil change was almost 8k ago. Stage 2+ Apr. Hpfp and new cam follower put in 10k miles ago, at 18k. Downpipe put in this January, around 22k miles.
If the dipstick was dry, that would mean i burned at least 3 qts in 8k miles. Is that likely? Or do you think the installer messed something up?
I never got a clear story as to how the shifter broke but these guys are supposed to have a good reputation. I couldn't find any leaks or anything and didn't notice anything that looked out of the ordinary. I'll try to jack up the car and take a look, but I'm dropping it to the dealer to inspect next week as I still have CPO warranty.
I know these engines burn oil but with this low mileage I'm worried either something else is going on, or the installer messed something up and didn't tell me.

The light came on a few days ago, so I checked tires and made sure they were all at the correct PSI. But the tire pressure warning light continues to stay on. I've read other threads about a reset switch in the first generation GX, so is there that same switch in the second generation GX? And if so, where is it? Can't find anything in the manual about it.

Last night my tire pressure warning light came on. So this morning I checked them, and they are all above 37 psi, so might be a tad bit low, but nothing major. the manual also mentioned that light can come on if there is a sensor fault. Should I be concerned?

So I'm having some problems with the oil pressure warning light beeping at me. First time it came on I stopped immeadietly, checked the oil and it was fine. (I just changed it when I got it) so I started it up again and it was fine for a few days. Then it came on again Real quick then went off. Now it comes on once or twice every trIp. I've replaced the switch already but it was still coming on so I installed an oil pressure gauge and I've confirmed my suspicions that the engine is indeed not loosing pressure. It sits at about 30ish at idle and goes up to aboit 50to 60 while driving 2-3k rpm. Yet the Damn oil light keeps blIbking. I'm assuming it has a wiring problem. Is there a way to shut this up or do I have to trace wires til I find the prob

I am driving down the road and the TPMS light starts to blink - and then stays on. I looked in the manual and it says that "When the light comes on after blinking for 1 minute: Malfunction in the tire pressure warning system." The resolution is to "Have the system checked by your Toyota dealer."
All my pressures, including the spare are how I have them set. I also made sure to re-set the TPMS button under the steering wheel to the new pressures and everything. I'll let you know what I find out. I'm kinda mad a sensor has failed though on a car that's less than one year old.

I have a mk4 Jetta 1.8t. Problem started last night. After I drive for about 15-20 minutes the oil pressure warning light comes on. It doesn't feel any different and my oil is full. Could my pump be going bad? I hear a slight tick near the bottom of the engine on the passenger side. But the car idles fine and drives fine too.

My wife drove over a big bump and triggered the warning light. I checked the pressure and they are fine.

On my MKVI the tire pressure monitor warning light would go off once the tires were inflated to the proper pressure. Does the MKVII do that or do you need to reset the system after every warning?

The tire pressure warning light has been on in my car for about a week. The dashboard computer says that the tire pressure in the front right tire is 17 psi, but when I use the pressure gauge, the reading is almost 40 psi. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing this problem?

So I got gas 4 days ago and today the check engine light came on afterwards. Went to auto zone to read code and it had to do with the gas pressure being slightly low (gas cap). So I got gas and resealed the gas cap. Well, it's been about 2 days since then and it hasn't gone off. Does it need to be reset or does it take more time?

I bought a 2003 Vw Gti 1.8t ... What to do or look for when something goes wrong . About a two months after driving it, it won't idle and it shuts off while in Neutral . I've done my research and i believe he didn't install the BOV in right, only bc it is not recirculates the air. Make sense? Is there ANYTHING i can do so it will run better and idle?
