Golf 6 Gti oil pressure issue at high revs >4000 rmp

Post by Bonganeh »

hi All,

I have oil pressure issue on the mkvi gti, the car runs fine at revs below 4000 rmp but once i put gas on a sudden falty signal shows on the dash and say max speed rev limites 4000 rpm and EPC light on. I have to switch car on and off to get rid of the faulty. but with scan unity it shows oil pressure switch which i have change but no difference, the car is stage II revo.

Hows your oil level? If thats fine then it's possibly an issue with the level switch.
Did you get an error for low oil pressure?

thx for replying. oil level if fine just below the max. the error is oil pressurem, does not say low oil pressure. I scanned the th ECU, it shows oil pressure sensor and i have change the oil pressure sensor but still error comes back. i even open the sump to clean debris on the screen but still the oil pressure fault comes back at high revs.

Broken wire? iffy plug on the sensor? have you checked with a physical gauge that the pressure is OK?

i have use mechanical gauge, i was able to ge 2 bar at hot idle but i dont know the spec at high revs above 3500 revs. I tend to believe there is actual oil pressure problem because lately it is affecting the timing, it take time now to start.I change tensioner put back timing but on the test drive bang!!! oil pressure fault appear on the screen. scan the car oil pressure sensor and timing fault (speed sensor/CPS). is it possible the oil pump is the problem? and to verify that?

What exactly are the fault codes you are getting? Perhaps post them up here.

P.C.V maybe clogged up? And engine noise? Is it normal or is the motor distinctively noisier? Could be a faulty oil pressure switch...

Thanas will post them. Curtis, how to check clogged PCV, soft diesel noise which I guess was normal for mkvi. I started to have rattle noise on inclined road when revs were between 2 to 3 k. Would like to check PCV and oil pump.

Pressu should be at least over 4 bar at that rpm.

Panic. Will put pressure gauge and verify if it does pass 4 bar at high revs.

they sell OE equipment - ask for good quality and they'll give you the right one.
There is also a pressure valve for the cam adjusters so if you get a cam correlation error it could be that rather than an oil pressure drop. but safest is check what you really get in pressure and take it from there.

Thanks panic. Friday will take pressure measurement and will post them here. Current the car takes time to start and I can feel little engine vibration. The pressure valve you mean the one attached on the intake camshaft beneath the magnet or regulator valve on the block attached to oil pump.

Gents

Where can I get new oil pump other than the agent. Goldwagen don't have my oil pump. I need 06h115109 part #. Goldwagen have the 06j115109 and does not fit my car.

Update on the oil pressure issue.

I have changed the oil pump with the latest OEM (06H115105BF), change oil and filter resert timing and use new pickup. I can now confirm the car is on fire i can reach 200 km/h with no oil pressure issues. I have started to enjoy my REVO Stage 2. Thank to everyone whom have contributed.

The only problem i have is the tail gate that does not want to open. There is no click if you press on the door or the key fob but can open manual. VCDS, gives 0009 dtc centr.locking motor,taigate-v53,unlock.

Its strange my fault on the console was fixed with me buying two oil pressure switches. I bought the oil pressure switch because of a report i was given stipulating the switches are faulty. I also thought it was my oil pump initially and thank goodness it was just switches.
