GLA engine sensor issue

My Mercedes GLA hybrid built in shows a warning light for oil temperature. Car diagnostics says faulty engine oil temperature sensor. Also oil gauge light is on. Thinking it's a cable or plug issue. Any ideas?

Oh man, that sounds familiar! I've got a GLA too, and I had a similar thing happen a while back. Seriously frustrating! The oil pressure warning lamp kept lighting up, and the error memory was storing a fault. I was so worried. Could be the automotive sensor acting up. I hope it is not too serious!

What was the fix? Was it really the car sensor? I'm hoping it's not too expensive to sort.

Yeah, it ended up being a dodgy engine sensor. If the car diagnostics already pointed to that, and you are seeing the oil pressure light too, it's highly likely. I’d recommend taking it to a workshop, they’ll confirm it for sure. Better safe than sorry!

Turns out it was indeed the engine oil temperature sensor. Cable was defective. Fixed it for 95€. Thanks for the help!
