Oil warning light
Posted: Sat Jan 01, 2022 2:50 pm
Kia Nero self-charge 66 reg
Has anyone had an oil warning light coming on intermittently?
It comes on after about 5 to 10 minutes, when the engine has warmed up I guess, and will go out when the battery is powering the car. It will go on and off randomly and has got worse, that is, it does it for longer. On a long journey it is going on and off for 45 minutes to an hour, then stops.
It is somewhat annoying and unsettling.
I have obviously checked the oil level which is fine and the oil does not appear discoloured. Mpg is still OK.
I mentioned this when the car went in for its yearly service, but was told that they could find nothing wrong.
I suspect it's the oil pressure sensor, but would be grateful for anyone's input if you've experienced anything like this.
I am thinking of going back to the dealer and insisting on the sensor being changed.
Thanks
