Hello, my oil warning light has been permanently on since having two turbo hoses replaced. Since then all has been perfect, but the light is permanently on. The oil level is consistently fine when checked. When it needed servicing, the service light came on and I then had full oil and filter change and the ‘service’ light went off (or mechanic turned it off?), but the oil warning light stayed on.
Any advice?
I’ve gotten used to it and always been happy to check my oil level regularly, but now I want to sell the van i would ideally like to solve the problem for the buyers peace of mind! Thanks in Advance. Fio.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

I have to be honest, it sounds like the oil pressure sensor was disconnected. If there are no noises indicating low oil pressure, either it is disconnected, the wiring damaged, or the sensor is bad., Since it happened after the work was done, first check wiring and if it is plugged in properly and no damaged has been done to the plug.

Check that and let me know what you find.

Take care,
Joe
