Seat Toledo Oil Pressure Warning

I am writing concerning my 2003 Seat Toledo, diesel engine. The speedometer shows a warning light, specifically the oil pressure warning lamp. I suspect engine oil contamination, possibly due to an exceeded maintenance interval. I have not observed any obvious oil leaks. Could this be oil sludge related?

Whoa, sounds rough! Had something similar happen with my Toledo. The oil pressure light came on, and the oil color was kinda sludgy. Did you check the oil filter? It could be clogged. Feels like when your arteries get blocked!

Interesting. When you had this issue, did you also notice any oil leaks, or was it primarily the oil pressure warning and the oil color?

No visible leaks, just the light and the nasty oil sludge. If the oil filter isn't the culprit, I'd suggest getting it checked professionally. Could save you a bigger headache later.

Acknowledged, and thank you for sharing your experience. It appears you were correct. The workshop confirmed oil contamination due to an exceeded maintenance interval. An oil change, new oil filter, and cleaning cost 165€. The oil pressure warning lamp is now off.
