How is there BWSTT videos I have not seen???
Merry Christmas and a happy new year. 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🎅🏻🎄☮️☮️☮️
Hope you had a good christmas and new year mate, always videos appearing that weve missed haha
Excellent vid as always. Couple of weeks back, got the dreaded low oil pressure warning light in my roadster on the way to Halford's ironically. Mistook it for low oil level, bought some oil, put it in, still got light. Drove home (I know, I shouldn't have) but less than a mile. Did not drive car again, waiting on mechanic to sort. In garage, no warning light, 3 hours on diagnostic bed with constant oil pressure monitoring, oil pressure all good, until it failed after 3 hours. New oil pump, sensor, strainer, and oil filter fitted. Phew!!!!! Engine lives to tell the tale.
What’s the chances! Glad you managed to get it fixed. I’m sure cars get garage shy when it comes to faults 😂
Hey Dom - thanks for the video. Had my oil pick-up pipe replaced a couple of weeks ago as a precaution - the car has done best part of 100K miles and had never had it done before.
You have certainly done the right thing even if it was just for piece of mind 😎
Had that low oil pressure since i got my 2000 TT. Got it checked as soon as it popped up the 1st time. My mechanic told me oil was fine and it might be the sensor, as you mentioned. Now i gotta find a brand new. But yeah, oil must be the most important thing to take care on a 22y/o car.
Keeping regular maintenance is key on these. Specially that pick up pipe as it can get large pieces of plastic blocking it that my not always block it etc. so worth. Checking if not done before
great job Dom I changed that pick up pipe before I even got mine on the road I had no warnings but no record of it been done in the past so peace of mind I know its done now 👍
I've had the red temperature with audible alarm on a pixelated screen (V6) which was going into melt down.....not funny...got them all fixed! Thanks for this Dom, great heads up, will get pick up pipe changed at next service. Had most of those warning lights at one point or another hahahahahahahaha. it got to the stage where i had warning light check list in car hahahahaha
Another great vid Dom 👍🏻 Keep it up.
Very handy 👍🏿this has just happened to me 😂 what are the chances. Awesome
What are the chances indeed! Have you got the the bottom of the issue yet?
I had the red brake warning with 3 beeps,was because I had 2 abs sensors at fault,I thought it was down to a brake pressure sensor on the master cylinder, but wasnt the case
Hi, I've a 2002 225 with 200k+ miles on the clock. The Red Oil warning comes on some mornings when I start the car. It goes off after about 15 seconds. Is is safe to drive after the warning light goes off?
I mentioned it the last time I got a service and the mechanic seemed to think it was not a problem
That oil light is for low oil pressure. Have you ever had your strainer checked? It could very well be blocked. The oil pump could be on its way out. Could be a bad oil pressure warning light
I have this on my 2003 3.2. It is intermittent and by the time you pull over it goes out. It also only happens when the engine is up to temp.
It goes into the garage tomorrow but it’s looking like it’s the 1.2 ~1.6 bar pressure sensor.
Fingers crossed anyway.
Great vid Dom, just had look and mine was replaced in 2011 for starvation problem/a blocked strainer, might replace it again next service at end of year
It’s good that you have a record of it being replaced. I’ve not seen too many documented before. Providing it’s been serviced well it should be fine but would probably be worth doing next time you get it serviced 👌🏻
@@TheParrottBros definitely, in 2017 it had nearly £3,000 worth of work done including cam belt, few hoses, new battery, an engine temp sensor plus more 😳
Great video, thanks Dom
Thank you
Dom,
I am always very impressed with your insights. One thing that I have found odd is the yellow Oil Sensor warning. My TT has afresh oil change and otherwise behaves fine, but that light is annoying for an OCD guy like myself. What would you suggest as first steps to diagnose? Many thanks and keep up the great work you do! Cheers, Sam
Hey Sam, thanks for the message and the kind words, So you have a yellow oil level warning? if so i would check the level, if ok then it could be the sump sensor or the wiring to it, often the wiring gets covered in oil and can degrade ( from where a leaking rocker gasket leaks oil down the back of the engine :)
@@TheParrottBros thanks very much!
Great video, a very good lesson.
Thanks! 😃
My was intermittent now cmes on over 1600rpm pushing button on dash pod does make it go for abit some times pick up pipe was replaced about 30,000 miles ago on ur advise oil change ever 6 months
it could be a failed oil pressure switch, you could have a week oil pump it is hard to know, the problem is as his cars get order the parts become weaker
GREAT VID KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Thanks buddy
My oil light comes on couple of times came on for 5 seconds then went off the 1 week later came on for 10.seconds then off again
had my display replaced… includes the fuel and temp gauges … wonder why i waited so long
I know how you feel, my fuel gauge hasn’t worked since I got the car but still not had it fixed. Just play run out roulette 😂
Hello, good morning, you know a lot, thank you for helping, I have the 225 too, the other day I went to the circuit I did a couple of laps at full speed and it got a little hot, when I went to enter the pits it stopped, the warning light came out. the battery and it didn't start until it cooled down, it's like it went into safety mode and then when it cools down you can start normally. It did that to me twice on the circuit, and yesterday doing a normal route with some accelerations but the perfect temperature it stopped but this time with the red oil and battery light too, I waited 10 minutes and it started again perfectly. What could it be? ?
Hmm thats interesting, usually the red oil light is a sign of low oil pressure, which usually is followed by a horrible engine noise. If you will getting the car really hot it could well be something with the power cables, often they get Poor resistance and can get very hot, it could be a sensor like a Crangle camshaft sensor the winner gets very hot fails which will kill your engine also, I would certainly look at getting your oil drained taking the samples and checking your strainer is not blocked before you swap with oil pressure sensor
But could the camshaft sensor be the crankshaft sensor? It stops and doesn't start again until a while passes.
The problem is this, changing the oil pump on most modern cars is a time consuming and tedious task, even for a season veteran mechanic, yes the part is $40, but it costs $1200 at a shop for a reason..
Time for a brew and a biscuit 👍
Sunday parrott bros and chill 🍻
I had a Volkswagen 2008 beetle and the red oil pressure light and it flashed and beeped 6 times.
I had the coolant warning recently. Turned out the thermostat housing had begun to break down and needed to be replaced.
I bet you thought ooo no here we go! haha, unfortunately while those coolant attachments are good plastic only lasts so long, mine broke at the T piece a while back
@@TheParrottBros haha, that's exactly how I felt. And then the replacement part I ordered from Gates wasn't manufactured right, so that was an additional headache getting that sorted. Fortunately the TTs back on road again where she's meant to be
Hey all , I NEED HELP
I would like to know the exact location of THE FUEL PUMP RELAY on 02’ BAM TTq - 225 , My car was great all till yesterday’s , suddenly something that I don’t want to happen in 20 years of ownership anything about fuel prob! I’m a noob still but I need to check or probably replace this fuel pump relay first please! 🙏

Give this a look should cover what you need to know
@@TheParrottBros thank you so much I’ll take a look tmrw, well wish me luck 🍀 great help dude thanks again
@@noel5ilv3rlake yeah for sure man good luck!
Slick fade bruh. See, Jeremy Clarkson was wrong about TT drivers. We're actually NOT all "hairdressers."
We're just fresh outta our regular appointment at the barber/salon. Where we got our ears lowered.
BECAUSE we keeps it tight yo.😉
Tasmania Australia 2000 Quattro TT roadster ( convertable) 1.8 turbo 6 speed manual. Dark (sherward?) Green and tan baseball interior.
I just gave it a full service as well as replaced the rocker cover gasket as it was weeping down the back of the motor.
Recently took it for a decent run and when it rained the oil pressure light came on.
I have degreased the lower oil sensor area and dried it out but another run and it came on again.
I have had this car since ... ?? 2015?? And it just clocked 200, 000km.
I will keep checking things and let you know.
Also.
How the hell do you replace the drive belt for the rear wind deflector without going insane as im 64yoa and the arthritis is not good and it looks like the belt change is going to cause me a lot of pain.
I have always built and repaired my own things except for wheel alignments.
More to come later.

Hey Tazzy Geoff! i would say its probably what we call goodwood green ( british racing green kinda look), there is a strong possibility that your strainer may have some foreign objects clogging it up and if not noted as being done in the past well worth doing
@@TheParrottBros will the sump come off without removing the motor?
@@tazzygeoff621 yes it's very easy to remove
Can this oil warning light be set by having too much oil?
@@Majstorcinaoil pressure will be the same for high as is for correct. Low oil would give a reduction in oil pressure therefore throwing the warning. The oil feed remains constant so only a lack of oil will give the warning or a faulty sensor.
