Oil sensor turns on SolvedSolved

Volkswagen Golf 1999  210000 miles
My car has just been tuned but, with the heavy rains that have taken place recently, it started failing. The oil sensor turned on and the vehicle started to lose power. When this happened, I let the car cool down and the levels were alright, so I drove back home but, when I was just about to arrive, the tappets made a terrible sound and I have not moved the car since then. What should I do? Is it the oil pressure sensor? Or the pump? Or what else can it be?

If your car has many driven miles, I simply recommend you to change the oil sensor and pump, and your vehicle will be at its best.

Same ecu different reaction

Volkswagen Golf 1996 Mid 1996 Gti 2.0L 8v AFW  230000 miles
Bosch Polocup ecu, car idles correctly, able to do adaption and drives well but when i check dtc's I often get 65535 Internal Control Module Memory Error so i bought another one and took it to the same guy who did original one and he loaded the same map. I installed the ecu i bought and when i started it, perfect, cold start revs slightly higher and drove it untill warm,idle slightly higher but ok. Next day drove car,all fine. Start car that night and car won't idle,dtc throttle position sensor. Put my other ecu back in and all is fine still. Any ideas why this happened?

Check Throttle Body retrain. ECU needs to synch with new / different throttle body. Can do this with VAG software.

Pull valve cover & check rocker arms for missing bearings. Oil change frequency needs be 7,000 km or less, depending on driving conditions. Is the head dirty = oil changes not frequent enough.

I didn’t think much of it at the time. Shortly after, I changed the oil, filters, and timing belt. I hadn’t driven many miles at that point. First Iss… Read complete
