UrgentHelpNeeded: 2004 VW Golf 2.0 FSI Oil Pressure: Stop. Engine off.

Post by LeeMok »

I was drivingat about 60km/h and i hit a jagged part of the road. All of a sudden the Oil tank light came on and a siren blipped and at the same time it wrote STOP, OIL PRESSURE WARNING. ENGINE OFF. CONSULT OWNERS MANUAL. I stopped immediately and checked the oil, found it ok, but topped it up just the same.

I switched the car on again and drove for a few metres and the light came on again. Just as i was about to stoo it went off. For two kilometres or so the light came on and off and then it came on forever without going off.

My question is , can i continue driving the car? What are the associated risks? Right now im by the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. Nearest town is about 50km away.

unless you know for sure that there is oil pressure than it is very risky to continue. You can literally destroy the engine of there is no pressure.
