Hi all, apologies I’m new here and don’t know a great deal about the cars. I am away from home (approx 200 miles) and my car showed low oil pressure message approx 3 times since yesterday and I am terrified that I damaged the engine. Oil level is apparently in tact ( I only checked what the computer says I have no dipstick) and car seems to be driving ok but I do not know if the engine sounds any different or not. Once message popped up I switched the engine off, after a moment or two I switched back on and message was gone and no control light of oil was displayed in red. At this stage everything is shut here in Lake District where I am actually but I will try to locate a mechanic in the morning. I wanted to ask if anyone had this problem, is it common? Any views as to whether it is an oil pump or a faulty sensor ? I would appreciate any support as I’m so stressed and have a child with me so I’m hoping I can make it back home. I’m driving a5 tdi 2.0 2013

Goodness sweet lady no worries!!!! These cars are great BUT sometimes they send wierd messages so dont worry. If the car has a major problem then she will go into the so called "limp mode" which enables you to drive home but very slowly. Sometimes they have a false contact which can provoke these stupid messages. Find a good VAG specialist and book her in for a check over bot dont worry, all is good!!!
