ix35 Oil Pressure Warning and Engine Noise
Summary of the thread
A 2012 Hyundai ix35 diesel with 118,913 km is experiencing an oil pressure warning light and engine knocking noises. Despite the oil level being adequate, these symptoms suggest a potential oil pump failure. Immediate inspection by a workshop is advised to prevent further engine damage, as a failed oil pump can lead to insufficient lubrication and damage to engine components like bearings. The issue was confirmed to be the oil pump, and it was repaired to prevent further complications.

Yeah, the noise is definitely a knocking sound. I had the oil changed about 5000 km ago, so it's not exactly fresh, but it shouldn't be causing this already, right? What was the outcome when you had the same issue?

Ok, knocking plus the oil light is not good. I drove mine for a short while with the light on, and it got much worse very quickly. Turns out the oil pump had failed, and it starved the engine of oil, which damaged the engine bearings. I'd advise getting it checked out by a workshop asap before driving it any further. You don't want to end up needing a whole new engine. Also, 5000 km on the oil shouldn't be a problem. These engines will do much more than that.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to the workshop, and you were right, it was the oil pump. The repair cost 755€. Hopefully, no further damage was done. I appreciate your help!

Sounds like a similar issue I had with my ix35. Was the noise a kind of knocking or rattling? I'd also be interested if you've had your oil changed recently? It does sound like the pump, unfortunately.
