Skoda Superb Diesel Oil Pressure Warning

That's not good. I had a similar issue with my old Renault Megane. The oil gauge was going crazy, and the oil pressure light kept flashing. For me, it turned out to be a faulty car sensor, specifically the oil temperature sensor. The engine control unit (ECU) uses the oil temperature sensor to adjust the engine parameters. Is the engine running rough? If the sensor is sending incorrect data, it can cause all sorts of issues. Have you checked the wiring and the plug connection to the temp sensor? That's where my problem was in the end.

Thanks for the quick reply. So, you reckon it's likely the temperature sensor then? Where exactly is that oil sensor located? And when you say wiring, what should I be looking for? Any specific signs of damage?

Yeah, it does sound similar to what I experienced. The oil temp sensor is usually located somewhere on the engine block, often near the oil filter. As for the wiring, check for any obvious signs of damage – frayed wires, corrosion, or loose connections. Give the plug a wiggle; sometimes, it's just a bad connection. However, if you're not comfortable poking around too much, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. If the error memory shows a faulty oil temperature sensor, it could really be that sensor, and you might need a replacement.

I took the car to the shop. It was a faulty connection on the oil temperature sensor. They cleaned it and replaced some wiring. All good now, warning lights are gone. Cost me 95€ Thanks for the advice!
