anyone know what it means when the oil pressure light goes on then beeps three times then shuts off. It happened to me while in normal driving conditions. Manula says to stop the engine and check oil level but level was normal.

 

Did you manage to get an answer to this question? The same thing is happening to me on my A4 and I am unsure if there is really a fault?

 

Blinking light does not sound good. I see you are both new to the forums. Did you try using the search feature. It's really helpful.

 

the light flashes for two reasons...first is when the sensor goes bad (which is not a big deal, cheap part)...the second would be because your oil pressure dropped to zero (which is very bad, and could cause major damage to motor)....I would say that you should get your car to da dealer (or locel shop) asap and have it checked out....it should be about 30 for da sensor and 90 for labor... I had da same problem and it was just my sensor, and it turned out oil was leaking from (slowly) it as well....good luck!

before u take ur car anywhere's check ur oil lvl first. if it's low dont' drive ur car until u get sum oil to top it off. after u get enough oil in ur engine, take ur car to a shop

 

Thanks all for your very quick replies!Just to confirm, when I switch on the ignition, the OK symbol comes up and the temperature indicator is then displayed. After another 3-4 seconds, the Oil Pressure indicator lights up and three beeps sound. Checked the oil and is as should be. Still the same thoughts?

Also worth noting is that the service indicator came on around the same time the oil light has. Could this be related?

 

Make sure you have all your service records could be sludge build up

 

I'm having the same symbols on my b7. I put the ignition key on (no need to start the car) and the Coolant and Oil pressure show up once in red and then all other symbols (brake etc..) but then the OK symbol shows up at the end. No issues with the car at all (no rev limit etc..). I got the car yesterday but its just been serviced. It doesn't beep though (unless i was too excited).

I just figured it was saying "checking the coolant, checking the oil..." .. thought it was part of the diagnostic but searched anyway and found this thread.
