Thanks for the quick reply. No visible oil leakage that I could see. I'm not sure about the oil viscosity, as it was last changed during the previous service. What caused your issue with the Ateca?

Mine turned out to be a failing oil pump. Given your symptoms, especially the loud noises and the low oil pressure light, I suspect the same. A clogged oil filter could contribute, but the noise suggests something more serious. I'd advise getting it checked by a professional as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Took it to the workshop, and you were right. It was the oil pump. The oil filter was also clogged, which probably made things worse. Cost me 755€, ouch! Thanks for the help.

Low oil pressure in a Tarraco is never good. I had a similar issue with my Seat Ateca. The oil pressure warning light came on, and there were some nasty engine noises. Have you checked for oil leakage? What oil viscosity are you using?
