2.7 oil pressure warning

Unread post by Kenmac15 »

Oh another day & another issue.......... had the low oil pressure warning pop up Monday after fixing the alternator & had a look & the pressure switch was leaking a lot & looked like for a while Diagbox showed the sensor had a fault. Ordered a new one from Parts in Motion & fitted it today, cleared the fault. Guess what with the new sensor fitted it's still showing the warning & fault. How many sensors are there for the oil pressure side of the system ???

I can only suggest the replacement part may be duff.

Put a pressure tester on today and I've got 22psi at idle, does anyone know if that's OK for the 2.7

Oil Pressure

N.B. : Check the oil level with the engine cold.

CAUTION: Oil pressure is checked with the engine hot after checking the oil level (110 °C).


Engine speedMinimum oil pressure
2500 rpm1 bar minimum
2500 rpm4 bars maximum
CAUTION: Carry out work on the engine if the oil pressure values are below those in the table.
