2012 F20 Engine oil pressure low warning appears randomly.
Greetings everyone,
My 2012 F20 118i Urban series with 105000kms on the clock is emitting out lot of white smoke and also there is an "Engine oil pressure low" warning message. It goes off after switching off the ignition and comes up randomly(after driving 100-200kms). Car has been serviced recently and i have driven only around 1000kms after that. Liqui moly 5W30 is the engine oil used. Engine oil and coolant level seems to be fine and also i cannot hear any abnormal sounds from the engine. Any suggestions on what might be the problem? Head gasket or just the Oil pressure switch? Last edited by jps18; 01-10-2022 at 07:39 AM.. |

I got a call from mechanic that they could not find any issue with the oil pressure sensor and also they could not see the "engine oil pressure low" error again even after multiple tests.
Their suggestion is, either i drive it as it is and come back again if i get theerror message again or alternatively check if there is any engine damage/change oil pump. Do you think i should go ahead and ask them to go ahead with whatever they suggested or wait to see if the error appears again? Car seems to be running fine. |

Approximate cost for changing Oil pump(including chain,labor,etc) =1000 EUR For timing chain change, its almost around the same price. Will keep you posted. |

Update: Insurance did not want to pay unless we prove something is damaged. mechanic says he dismounted everything and checked the condition of oil pump and timing chain and found no problem but just normal wear and tear. so still no clue on why the problem occurs
Meanwhile, i am hearing strange clicking noise in the engine bay. I got the car today only and mechanic says its normal. Last edited by jps18; 01-26-2022 at 08:02 AM.. |
