STOP - LOW OIL PRESSURE
TheBALDpuma:
I go to my car this morning and it won't unlock. Weird. Get in eventually and the dash screen isnt lighting up and it's bonging at me, and I see I've managed to leave my side lights on overnight ffs. Anyway, I live on a hill so off I go to bump it down the hill. I bump it and immediately get STOP ENGINE LOW OIL PRESSURE come up. So I did as it says and pull over.
These two have got to be linked right? Could it just be the car having a sh*t fit? Oil level is topped right up. Unless the oil pump has failed at the exact same time
TheBALDpuma:
Panic over. AA came out and started it from a battery pack; all good. Was just because of the bump start from a totally flat battery.
OllieVRS:
Jeez you nearly triggered my PTSD with that post title :scared:
Yeah probably car having a fit from getting bump started.
Besides, low oil pressure usually appears on a hot engine, unless something catastrophic like pump chain failure has happened.

I have a panick attack when |I hear a bong and usually it's just for low fuel haha.
From past experience flat batteries can cause many many strange faults.

It's the 4C ping when it's cold outside that used to give me a heart attack not long after I had actually had engine failure :grin:
