My car has recently been in for its Pistons and conrods due to high oil consumption. I've had the car back a few weeks and the oil had dropped again about 2 segments and today the low oil pressure warning light came in the dash for about 30 seconds then disappeared!! I'm wondering if it's a leak or a faulty sensor. Any ideas?
 
take it back
 
I will be phoning first thing tomorrow. I'm at my wits end with this car and I've only had it 6 months it's one thing after another!
 
iv got a problem with a 18T 2009

using 1ltr of oil in say around 300/400 miles
gone from not using a drop to this so feel your pain.
 
That's how mines started off it's been a constant annoyance since I bought it
 
Just to update, had the pressure sensor changed... Same problem, took the sump off to check the pickup pipe, engine clean as a whistle as was the pipe, changed the oil and new filter and problem solved!! Apparently oil coming out was obviously dark but seemed a lot thicker than the oil going in?! Didn't think the engine would be so sensative to the oil...
