Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
probably faulty sensor, check the oil with the dipstick to be on the safe side, if correct then the sensor bad.

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Outcome without a verified action link
This lasted for about one second and then it went back to normal, about 4 on the guage and the warning went away.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just had a strange experience, I have a Jan 2004 996 C4S. I was driving along at about 40mph and the oil pressure guage on the right side of the cluster just dropped to zero! At the same time a warning came up on the display that said 'indicator failure' and had the oil pressure symbol. This lasted for about one second and then it went back to normal, about 4 on the guage and the warning went away. Then 10 seconds later it did the same thing again? and then went back to normal... At no point as far as I'm aware did the red oil pressure warning light at the bottom of the cluster come on. I have since measured the oil level on the dipstick and all is okay. Has anyone else seen this, do I have a problem or could it just be a faulty sensor? I think I maybe need a trip to the OPC..... rgds, Marcus Migration info. Legacy thread was 76200

POST 2Original post

trip to opc asap, probably faulty sensor, check the oil with the dipstick to be on the safe side, if correct then the sensor bad. good luck Migration info. Legacy thread was 76201

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, I have checked the dipstick and the level seems okay. Off to the OPC then after less than a week of ownership! I hope this is not a sign of things to come..... Migration info. Legacy thread was 76204

POST 4Original post

dont worry, I find when ever I buy a new car, (used or new) tht problems present them almost from the word go, mostly because used ones have been standing, and new ones, cos they have never been used a few early probs, dont worry to much Migration info. Legacy thread was 76205
