Leading evidence: 'Check oil level and it seems ok' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'oil pressure sensor' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check oil level and it seems ok' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

It would be probably the oil pressure sensor:

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

For the last several months, every few weeks the oil failure indicator light comes on and the oiol pressure guage drops to zero. This may last from a few seconds to a nerve racking minute or two. Then it bouces back to full pressure. I have checked the oil level and it seems ok. Does this sound like a problem with the sending unit? Any advice?

POST 2Original post

Don't be worried about it. It would be probably the oil pressure sensor:

POST 3Original post

Yup I agree mine actually has stopped working a few times this year as well. Though not bad enough to warrant a special trip to the mechanic.

POST 4Original post

The oil sensor has two conections. Sometimes one of them begin to fail and sometimes they keep on running well. The sensor gets dirty as is located in an area where It's not well protected. I'm going to show you a Carrera 4S oil sensor from a buddie. His car is in Spain , but was imported from Germany, and got a lot corrosion from the salt roads in winter time. We call it The Titanic (cause of the corrosion) Compared it to mine (upper pics) Compared it to mine (upper pics) To access to the oil sensor to work in the engine lid, Porsche dealers get down the engine, and replece it properly without effort. My mechanic made by himself a special tool to manipulate the screw without gtting down the engine
