Hello...A question as to how fast were you driving at the time of the fault codes? I got a fault code today twice, but only when I was driving around 70 mph. When driving slower, or when below 2500 rpms, no fault code. I parked the Treg and reved the engine to 2500 rpms and got the fault code which is aying oil pressure too high. Has this happened to you?

Zagg,

1st time I was taking a 110 degree corner, so it was about 20mph. The other times varied, some highway speed, some slower. Sound like you have a different message/issue than I had. Anybody change or add oil recently? If you have a VAGCom, you can dump the codes to see if there are any more clues.

Regards

Terry

 

Our '09 TDI is currently in the shop for the second time for the same problem. I just got off of the phone with the service dept. and asked them why they thought this was a continuing issue. He didn't know at this point. They have another part coming in and should be fixed friday. If they continue to have the issue they're going to have someone from VW come in and try to diagnose the issue.

 

Just got off of the phone with the service tech, the part should be here in the am. He said the offending part is the oil pressure regulating valve. I asked if it was a simple issue of the valve/part just reading incorrectly due to being faulty or was the engine actually running low on oil pressure and they confirmed it WAS actually running low on oil pressure.

Is this similar to what everyone else with this issue is seeing?

 

"How low vs standard pressure?" is what I'd have asked as I'd be thinking about long term damage.

 

It's currently reading 2 bar and we've already brought up the idea it might be "too-too low".

 

did the Oil Pressure Regulating Valve replacement fix the problem?

 

don't know if you're referring to me or the OP (sorry to hijack). ours is still in the shop. hopefully done monday.

 

So far we are still good with the replaced sensor (if you are referring to OP)

 

My treg is STILL in the shop. They have replaced the oil pump and the sensors and still get the same issues. Are there any others having this or similar issues with the 2009 TDI's?

 

Sorry to hear about your trouble. Your issue sounds a little different (ie; actually running low on oil pressure per your post) from just the sensor going bad that I saw. Did you ever get anyone called in for support help from VW (per your OP). After that long, I would demand it and that they stay on it until it is fixed (geez, hopefully they at least gave you a loaner). I hope you can get it back soon (fixed)...

 

I had same issue new oil pressure sensor resolved my issue

 

I've had this same issue

It began December 15, 2011, at about 52000 miles on my 2010 TDI. The oil pressure indicator and the temperature never varied in the least from where they always read. It has happened three times, each time being corrected by turning the engine off, then back on. Oil level is normal. I'm convinced it's a bad sensor, not a valve. One tech told a previous poster that it was a valve, and that the engine was experiencing low pressure. This is not a satisfactory answer in my mind. If so, how is it that the pressure indicator remains normal?

Did they fit an oil pressure gauge on the 2010 Tdi?

I thought that, like previous Touaregs, it was oil temperature not pressure.

 

Sounds like the same issue to me. As I had mentioned in the OP, I had to finally drive it in in failed mode because they could not duplicate it the 1st time I took it in and would not work from the fail codes. Maintenance invoice indicates they had to pull the water pump to get at it and then re-install it, and then something about "Guided Functions", which I guess were additional diagnostics. Switch Part# they listed for my 2009 was 059-919-081-D

They should be able to tell if its the valve or the switch/sensor from the codes I would think. If you have access to a VAG-Com, you can match your codes up with the ones I posted and have a little more point-to evidence. At least you went twice as many miles before you had the failure. Good luck.

 

I had my Oil Pressure Switch replaced (part #059-919-081-D) at 23,700 miles. No problems since.
I currently have 32,800 miles.

 

I had a similar problem, when I accelerated the same indications on the MFI and limp mode. After turning the engine off and on again, no indications on the MFI ans no limp mode until accelerated again. It was the oil pressure switch failing intermittently at high oil pressure, during acceleration.

 

Same as exact symptoms as strokethis2 happened today truck is just shy of 39,000 miles. sorry to say but this makes me nervous about owning this car for the long haul. Replaced water pump already undr warranty and bluetooth is horrible. Hopefully it will be a simple fix and I can enjoy a trouble free experience.

 

Hi!
We have the same problem here car will be in a shop Monday 16th Jan. Just over 30K miles. Oil pressure low message shows up when you drive above 2500 rpm. Stop turn the engine off message clears but shows again later.

 

mine has only failed once I am waiting for it to fail again so I can have it repaired!!!

 

Don't worry, it may take a little bit, but it will fail again. As it progressed (at least for me), it happened with shorter and shorter intervals in between. Good luck. Mine has still been fine so far since repair about 9mo ago. I truly hope they upgraded the sensor/switch so this does not repeat after another 25k miles.

 

haha yeah I am sure it will go again hopefully it won't be at the worst time.

 

Luckily (as you know) it is just a restart to clear it. But as I mentioned in my OP, I had to wait for it to fail and take it into the dealer in the failed mode cause they had to see the issue duplicated before they would do anything (they would not go by the codes). So I just drove it there in limp mode PITA...

 

yeah that is my plan also. You are 100 percent correct that way they can't deny the problem.

 

Well it failed again today. I dropped it off a dealer and was told no loaner cars available and they will check it and call me tomorrow. I guess i should be the person inconvenienced when they refuse to fix it the first time.

 

Got call from Donaldson's Volkswagen same error as last time but they want the tech to bring the car home. No loaner no idea what will be done and when. I was told they offer loaner if I make an appointment kind of hard to do. Called VOA filed a complaint sounds kind of useless. Called warranty company was told that unless dealership finds isue and it is a part that extended warrranty covers I am out of luck. Warranty company rep said that if i wanted I could rent a car on my own and if after diagnoses it may be covered. I thanked him for allowing me to pay for a rental and got off the phone before I lost my cool. I wish i could speak with people face to face at times I think attitudes would be different. Warranty company said it is a Volkswagen plan they are just admistrators of it. Volkswagen said its a third party warranty. I guess nobody stands up for the goods they sell these days Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am quickly losing for dealership and Volkswagen and warranty company can go scratch.

 

Car is back. Removed and replaced lower engine cover, replaced oil pressure switch, replaced oil pressure regulator valve, replaced leaking oil level sensor. Hopefully the whole problem is fixed, time will tell.
