Hi guys,
I have a 2012 Tiguan TSI 2.0 with 130,000 miles. I get the red low oil pressure stop car warning light intermittently. After maybe 30 min of driving, it comes on, then right after three beeps, it goes off. It started after I took it to the dealer for an oil change. After I left, the light went on. I took it back, and they changed the oil pressure switch/sensor and another oil change. They also said that the oil pressure was checked and within spec.
A couple of days after, I got a yellow engine warning light and had it checked. It was p0301. So I switched the plug wire 1 with 2, and the light went off. The red oil pressure warning still goes off, so I took my Tiguan to another mechanic to check the oil pressure. He said it's within spec, at the low end but in spec. I asked what could help with this issue, and he recommended an oil pump and pickup tube. So I had that done. It worked for a while, but now it's back. I took it back to where I had the oil pump changed out, and they said the oil pressure was within spec, no oil leaks were found and can't replicate the warning; all good.
The mechanic said that if it keeps coming up, I may need a new/used engine. I was driving the car to the store a couple of days ago, and the car wanted to stall; the yellow engine warning light went on and off, so I had a code reader hooked up to it, and it gave me p0304.
So now no yellow engine warning lights but the red low oil pressure light comes on after 30 minutes of driving; it goes on, then three beeps and off.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
