| 3.0 TDV6 Oil Pressure Warning |
|
Afternoon peeps.
Hope you’re well.
I’ve recently swapped out the engine on my 3.0 RR Sport and got it running again.
One of the many issues I now have is the Oil Pressure Warning light is coming on once the engine gets up to temperature….. 🫣
The Oil and Filter have been changed anyway and I’m awaiting a friend coming round to plug in his code reader.
Just wondering if anyone else has come up against this issue on the 3.0 TDV6 and if so what did it turn out to be? The light stays off after initial start up but as said….comes on once the engine gets up to temperature…..roughly around 20 mins or so at idle….
Thanks 🙏 2005 D3 HSE

Hopefully the oil pressure sensor is defect, I would change this as first
step. Not sure, where you can measure the oil pressure
by using a mechanical pressure gauge on this engine.
This would help to find out if only the sensor is wrong.
In worst case the engine may be at the end of life,
good luck.

forgot to mention that a worn oil pump can also
lead to low pressure, when hot.
Again, try measure absolute pressure with a mechanical gauge.

Thanks for the advice.
It seems to have stopped doing it now but will keep a close eye on it.
Thanks again. 2005 D3 HSE
