Random Low Oil Pressure warning
« on: Today at 12:11:04 pm »
I was driving last night pretty chill, and my car decided to make me crap a little by throwing a low oil pressure warning. I shut off the engine immediately and coasted to a stop.

The thing is that i JUST made an oil pump and chain replacement 400km ago. Pickup pipe and oil pan were cleaned thoroughly.

I took a risk and briely restarted the engine and to my surprise, no weird noises, no low oil pressure light, nothing. I checked obdeleven for the oil level and it seemed to go down when i lightly accelerated so to me that looks like the pump is doing its job (damn you VW for not putting a true oil pressure sensor in the damn car) I was close to home and drove it there. Haven't even thought of starting it since.

So the oil pump is working, the chain didn't break, the pickup pipe is clean. What could it have been?
