i bought audi a6 turbo 1999. i done the service and after 5 days the engine oil light starts blinking. i have checked the oil level, its all ok why does it happeningI got audi a6 , serviced 4 days ago and today engine oil light starts blinking, why?
could be an oil pressure problemI got audi a6 , serviced 4 days ago and today engine oil light starts blinking, why?
Get a dealer or a good garage to check the oil service pipe from the bottom of the engine to the turbo. They don't check it in a service. Just get it replaced. I had exactly the same problem on my 2000 A6 1.8T. This pipe becomes blocked and sometimes frees itself, hence the intermittant oil light! It loses pressure in the engine.
It will seize your engine eventually, believe me I know, I had to get a new engine and turbo!
if its a a6 turbo it has the 2.7 bi turbo engine. tht engine dosent normally sluge up(the thing with the oil pickup). the 1.8l a4 sludges up all the time also the newer 3.0 in a4's and a6's but not as often. if its a 2.7 (i havent seen a a6 with a 1.8l) i would say its probly a pressure sender but check oil pressure to be sure
First check the oil fill cap. Make sure that it is tight. If it is not replace with a cap that fully seals. On VW, Audi, BMW the light will come on if the engine doesn't fully seal. It could also be may other things spun bearing, bad oil pump, bad oil filter, wrong oil viscosity , worn out engine but since you just changed the oil I'd look at the cap.
Did you service at a dealer? They might have just overlooked resetting the service indicator.
