so he did not get it done
any idear what s causing it

Guardian.:
its either alright or it isnt!
£500 for something thats ok, very strange.
oil pump could be on its way out, and if it fails when its running, and this you will not know as your light is on all the time, will not repair for anything like £500.
if its just the pressure sensor get a new one in now.
could be idling to low, but i doubt it.
you are playing with fire, and if you dont get it sorted you wil get burnt, very burnt.

muck_truck:
the oil light started to come on on our 300Tdi at tickover, changed the sender for about £1.50 ASAP and problem solved.

Snooky:
Mine used to go on and off as I drove, cleaned it and ll been fine since, was shorting out through all the crap  :lol:

wheeler:
