2013 VW Tiguan low oil pressure testing!

[@danieldoernen9983]

Thanks for that video. Still relevant after 2 years 🎉

[@diddypatch3]

I was getting the same oil pressure light. Changed out my pcv valve along with this oil pressure sensor. No problems since. Thanks for the vid.

[@prestofixit3518]

No problem 👍

​Did you do a reset?@@prestofixit3518

[@jram3237]

I have the same problem, i have my workshop and i change the oil and oil filter after this the light start on, change the sensor is my only way

[@xrichiexg]

Thank you so much for making this video man!! I have the same car and having the same problem and going to fix this today now!!

[@prestofixit3518]

Glad I could help! End up having to do a whole over haul on this engine a few weeks ago. Balance shafts failed and engine needed to be rebuilt

Solucionaste tu problema?

[@xrichiexg]

Oh man that's super rough!! This did 100% fix my issue! And was super super easy to take care of! Vids like this are great for people like me where there's only a handful of foreign auto mechanics on my area and they are all booked out for months! Thank you again!

[@xrichiexg]

It 100% fixed my issue and was super easy to deal with!! Honestly even my mother could've done this it's that easy!

[@jram3237]

@@xrichiexg My problem was solved by changing the oil filter, I put the old one I had, fortunately I didn't throw it away hahaha, I've been without the oil pressure light for 3 days now, I'm going to order the original filter

[@mazpr2025]

The oil pressure sensor works above 1000rpm, the reason why there is no light at startup.

[@timc3600]

As the pressure sensor is just a switch, it needs the ground terminal via the M10 thread, so covering it in PTFE tape won't help in doing that. The crush washer is what gives the seal, the new sensor should come with one. I had a similar problem with a bad sensor today.

[@amiparkerson337]

This is super helpful. Thank you. I can’t get the sensor cover off to save my life! Any tips?

[@prestofixit3518]

I would carefully use a pocket screwdriver or a pick to get under the clip and work it lose. Hope that helps.

@@prestofixit3518 You are very kind to reply. After several attempts, I relented. VW is in the shop. :)

[@amiparkerson337]

Turns out the sensor was the problem. We are all good now and it was a cheap fix. Thanks again!

Did this work?

[@shimon2476]

once the sensor is leaking it will give you a oil sensor fault

[@JohnSmith-tr8yr]

Hi, where did you buy a new sensor ?

[@prestofixit3518]

Autozone had them!

[@JohnSmith-tr8yr]

@@prestofixit3518 do you mind sending me a link? I found one but not sure , is it PS444?

[@prestofixit3518]

@@JohnSmith-tr8yr yes ps444 is the sensor I used from autozone.

[@JohnSmith-tr8yr]

@@prestofixit3518 thank you, much obliged. I’ll get them tomorrow and install it

How do you fix the airbag light?

[@redihoxha2940]

Mine don't have problems with that sensor and oil filter...could be another issue

[@prestofixit3518]

I would check your oil pressure then, odds are it’s low.

[@redihoxha2940]

@@prestofixit3518 it's 1.9 bar at 2000rpm

[@prestofixit3518]

@@redihoxha2940 28psi at 2k rpm is getting kinda low. With my rubuilt engine it get 45psi 3bar at 1800rpm. The balance shafts might be wearing out. How many miles on your car?

[@redihoxha2940]

@@prestofixit3518 I'm thinking that the crankshaft bearings are worn and don't take the pressure, it has 90k miles

[@prestofixit3518]

@@redihoxha2940 you could try a thicker oil to help with the pressure, maybe 5w-40 or I did 20w-50 when my engine was going out that helped prolong it till the rebuild.

[@derekkchung]

Cold idle 20 psi at least. You got 40 psi Specs: Cold 2000-2500 rpm should be 50 psi Warm to 190F: Specs : 2.7 to 4 bar at 2k rpm (39psi to 58 psi) You got at idle 19 psi, at 2k u have 40 psi so u are at the lower end but within specs

[@Ape76]

in my case the problem (oil pressure warning on idle) was dirty vvt adjuster/magnet! Litle bit of parts cleaner sprayed in each hole and problem is solved!!!

[@prestofixit3518]

Glad you got it fixed!

i have the same problem with VW passat 2013 i changed the engine oil, oil pressure switch, as well as oil pressure pump also but after driving 10 min. red light comes up with beep sound.

[@prestofixit3518]

Well did you test the oil pressure? How many miles on the engine?
