Low engine oil pressure issue - 2.0 cdti/JTDm - Insignia, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, Opel Vauxhall

[@chevredupoitou7330]

My biturbo showed low oil. For curios i pulled bearing caps.. they were all worn- changing seal IS NOT enough! All new gm shell bearing set saved my engine. I also used gasket compound on new seal to stop it every sucking air again.

[@Bigbaza-zd7pj]

Thanks for this its going to stop me being ripped off with replacing parts I don't need 🙂

[@kenanbegic1656]

Had asme problem on astra j 2.0 cdti. Sealing gasket for oil pump was the issue.

[@ek9458]

Problem solved with this solution. Thx a lot

[@Arounadabout]

Hi I really appreciate your channel and content in helping us, one of your video helped me resolve an incredibly annoying judder/thud on my 1.9 cdti Vectra every time engine was switched off, no mechanic diagnosed it right and many suggested it was flywheel fault , crank pulley fault etc and after 2 years I found your video and replaced the throttle body and it fixed the issues ! I am so glad to find you did a how to for the oil seal on this engine as I now have a 2014 Opel /Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 CDTI ( 118KW I think ) I did an oil and filter change on it 2 days ago, a day later the low oil pressure stop engine light came on. I re filled it with more oil as thoguht maybe didn't put quite enough in on oil change day before and I restarted the engine and it was all ok, this morning it all seems ok too. could it have displayed that message because I may have not topped it up enough initially ? thanks

[@sebwebb402]

I have a Vauxhall astra 2.0 cdti and ive just taken it to the garage and they have told me that the oil pump has failed, and without taking the engine apart they don't know if it will need a lot of other parts replacing so have advised I buy an entirely new engine to be fitted. The car has lost a lot of power but can still hit decent speeds. has anyone got any recommendations on what to do as I really don't want to pay 1400 pounds for a new engine + labour? also I didn't have any warning lights come up before or after the issue so there was no warning.

Thanks for this guide/manual.

[@skodbolle]

Thank you so much for this video, I had this problem and it is solved now! A little til is that the 2 bolts behind the F40 gearbox can be accessed by just loosening the gearbox, and keeping the gearbox bolts in, that gives you just enough room to get to the 2 oil pan bolts

[@fixanddrive]

What car do you own?

This was happen me just it was -10 c in normal.comditions when was hotter work perfectly,shell i wooried? Can i drive? I know for this problem and im going to change it..

[@SamuelKruszewski]

You wrote that "it is easier to remove the oil sump, rather than the oil pump, because to remove the oil pump, we need to remove the whole timing belt system." What if I'm also planing to change the timing belt system? Is it easier then to remove just the oil pump? After removing the timing belt system is it just unscrewing the oil pump and that's it?

[@fixanddrive]

I guess you are right. I don't remember if anything else will be in the way to remove the oil pump. Maybe the alternator bracket needs to be removed too. PS. Where are you from? You have a Polish last name. :)

[@SamuelKruszewski]

​@@fixanddrive Thanks for the info. Then, I'll try this way. If there is some problem, I'll do it the way shown here. Btw. How long should I wait until the sealing compound / (silicone / glue) drys up on temperature between 0-4 °C? And yes, I'm from Poland. I can see now you are too :)

[@fixanddrive]

@@SamuelKruszewski Here is what Honda says about the silicone drying process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpfPZ3qZisefmpI

[@SamuelKruszewski]

@@fixanddrive Thanks. Could you tell me what minute I can find the information? Because quickly going through the video I see the sump is not dismounted.

[@SamuelKruszewski]

@@fixanddrive I asked a few people about the way described in my first comment. They say it's not possible, because to remove the oil pump without taking off the oil sump I would need also to remove a crankshaft (Polish "wał korbowy"). It seems to be logic, because I would need to lift the oil pump but the crankshaft would block it. However on the video I see there is dismounted oil pump without taking off the oil sump and the crankshaft: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIm3aYqImq2tkNE . In this picture was the oil sump taken off before the oil pump and then just kept together for the purpose of the photo?

[@hassanajeel3540]

I will soon change the timing belt. Any idea to change this sealer when I don’t have low oil pressure matter? I just read that sealer get stiffer with years. I change the oil every 10k or at least every year. Grateful for advise!

[@naheedakhtar5327]

I have a Vauxhall Zafira tourer. The low oil pressure warning light came on so I decided to change the seal with aluminium one. After getting the seal changed the warning still come on first start up. Anyone know what’s the issue? Thanks

Hello, the Fiat Multijet Engines 1.6 have this problem also? They are the same as CDTI from Opel. The 1.6 CDTI does not have this problem, only 2.0? Thanks a lot !!!

[@AJHVideo]

Would this failing cause a rumble on the engine as its sucking in air rather than oil? Thanks

[@kouzzouk7733]

I have an Alfa romeo mito 1.6 jtd 120hp and at cold start I’ve got the same problem, and it’s not the oil pressure valve, I replaced the valve and nothing changed, so you this the problem is that seal?

[@dieforddie]

Is there a way to know if your engine will have a space to get to all of the screws on the oil pan? My car is a 2014 Chevy Cruze diesel with this engine. If it doesnt have the spaces, will a long allen key always work?

[@inspire3164]

Very helpful 👍

[@marcshort2959]

Mines in the garage now currently getting the seal done and I'm hoping that that's the end of it, the car was saying only cold start (low oil pressure) i no over time it will kill my car I'm hoping theres no damage to the engine by leaving the car for a while not knowing the damage it would be doing I took it too vauxhall and they tried to charge me 130 pound for a software update which I was told could only hide the fault until too late so hopefully the seal will work I will let people now so if people have the same problem it can be fixed

[@S.F.I.]

Any update? Thank you

[@marcshort2959]

Works 100% I'd get it done asap tho if the light is showing when cold start as will eventually get worse

[@khalfanabz5655]

Hi, does this solution applies to Vauxhall Astra 2010 (auto) model aswell? I have had this problem for 2 months now and the garages I took don't seem to know what to do. New Oil Pump has been fitted, along with new sensor, and engine flash has been applied but Same message still appears on the dashboard when the car is idle?? any suggestions

[@robydany2448]

It applies to any car that uses these fiat 2.0 diesel engines. You fitter new oil pump, but did you use a new rubber seal, as shown in the video? If yes, then just reset the error and try again. If it pups up again, you need to check carefully what happened...maybe the oil pressure sensor is faulty!

[@chevredupoitou7330]

If you dont do bearing shells very soon the bottom end is dead

[@naschahoof7934]

think this could be the issue with my insignia, getting that warning on start up. had sensor changed and new oil and filter but didnt work. now i found this it seems same issue. how much would a garage charge me for this work you think?

Does this problem also include high oil consumption/loss? My 1.6 JTDM has this problem with cold engine, it then disappears whenever the engine builds up some heat. Sometimes it smokes (blue) heavily, but this is very random. Turbo pressure is OK so i don't think that's the problem. Hope to hear from you soon!

I just replaced mine in Alfa, takes about 4 hours if you have good access + 2-3 hours to let silicone dry. You can leave driveshaft, just unbolt bearing housing. In some gearboxes it is much more work since you can't easily access bolts on flywheel side. Don't forget to throughly clean pan and all the parts there.

[@robydany2448]

if you have low oil pressure indicator on, then you should check that rubber seal from the video. Be careful : if somehow your software is updated, the low oil pressure indicator may not appear anymore!

And one advice : you shouldn't use that oil as much as 15/20k km, it is too much. Change it at 10k or use a better oil like Castrol or Valvoline.
