RS7 Oil Pressure Warning Despite Normal Oil Level

Having some automotive repair experience, I faced a very similar issue with my 2017 RS6 last year. The oil signal warnings can be quite concerning, but in my case it turned out to be a faulty sensor and connection issue rather than an actual oil pressure problem. After manual checks confirmed proper engine oil levels, I took it to a workshop where they diagnosed a loose cable connection at the oil pressure sensor. The repair involved testing the sensor connections and replacing a damaged wiring plug. Total cost was 95 Euro for parts and labor. The car maintenance history played a role in diagnosis, as properly maintained vehicles rarely develop actual oil pressure issues without other symptoms. In my case, the engine was running smoothly despite the warnings, which pointed toward a sensor issue. What trim level is your RS7? Also, have you noticed any engine performance changes or unusual sounds? This information would help determine if your situation matches what I experienced. When was your last oil change performed? A proper diagnosis should include: Complete sensor signal testing, Inspection of all wire connections, Oil pressure measurement under various operating conditions, Verification of the engine oil quality and level These warnings definitely need attention, but often the root cause is electrical rather than mechanical.

Thanks for the detailed response. My RS7 is a Performance trim with 165494 KM on the odometer. Last service including oil change was just 2500 KM ago. I did some more troubleshooting and noticed the oil gauge readings fluctuate out of nowhere while the engine is running at steady RPM. There are no unusual engine noises or performance issues, which makes me lean toward a faulty sensor being the culprit rather than an actual oil pressure problem. I will have the sensor connections checked first based on your experience. The repair cost seems reasonable if its just a wiring or sensor issue. Much better than dealing with a major engine oil system problem.

The fluctuating oil gauge readings you describe at steady RPM definitely mirrors what I experienced with my RS6. This unusual fluctuation pattern combined with normal engine performance is a classic sign of an oil detection system fault rather than actual oil pressure problems. Since your oil change was so recent, and theres no mechanical symptoms, Im even more convinced youre dealing with a sensor issue. The behavior youre seeing is nearly identical to what my RS6 displayed before the repair. The automotive oil monitoring systems on these models are quite sensitive to electrical interference. A thorough diagnostic check should focus on the wiring harness near the oil pressure sensor, as these can deteriorate over time especially with higher mileage like yours. One warning though, while my repair was straightforward, make sure the workshop performs a complete sensor signal validation after any repairs. Some shops might just replace the faulty sensor without proper testing, which doesnt always resolve the underlying issue. Also worth mentioning that the engine oil pressure warning system has multiple components. While the wiring fixed my issue, your fluctuating readings could also indicate the sensor itself is failing. The sensor replacement runs about 150 Euro if needed. Let us know what the workshop finds. This information could help others facing similar sensor issues with these models.

Thanks everyone for the helpful input. After getting my car checked at the workshop, it turned out to be exactly what was suggested, a faulty oil sensor and damaged wiring connection. The repair cost was 165 Euro total, slightly more than expected since they had to replace both the sensor and some wiring. The oil gauge now shows steady readings and all warning lights have cleared. For anyone encountering similar car maintenance issues, definitely check the sensor connections first before assuming the worst. The car runs perfectly now and the engine oil pressure is stable across all RPM ranges. Really glad it wasnt a more serious problem. The workshop also mentioned these sensor issues are fairly common in high-performance models with similar mileage. Regular maintenance checks can help catch these problems early before they trigger multiple warnings. Will update my service records to track this oil sensor replacement in case similar issues pop up in the future. Thanks again for helping diagnose the problem correctly and saving me from unnecessary worry about major engine problems.
