I did some research into this already and some people said the gauge cluster could be the issue and since I did swap at the gauge cluster as part of the manual swap, I put in my old cluster and the problem was still there.

I may remove the throttle body to see if I can disconnect the plug from the new sensor and plug the old sensor back in but I'm looking for an easy solution if possible.

Suggestion · Original poster

I had my engine out to do a manual swap and while it was out I decided to replace a few things because it would be much easier at that time then later down the road, this included the oil level indicator due to its location under the passenger side intake runner.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I had my engine out to do a manual swap and while it was out I decided to replace a few things because it would be much easier at that time then later down the road, this included the oil level indicator due to its location under the passenger side intake runner. Nothing was wrong with the old indicator before hand. I'm now getting a failure oil level indicator once I turn the car on before I start it up. It does not go away when starting the car. I did some research into this already and some people said the gauge cluster could be the issue and since I did swap at the gauge cluster as part of the manual swap, I put in my old cluster and the problem was still there. Do I need to make any adaptations in the DME for the new oil level indicator? I may remove the throttle body to see if I can disconnect the plug from the new sensor and plug the old sensor back in but I'm looking for an easy solution if possible. Thanks in advance!

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have not. It's not urgent just annoying as it is the last thing from my manual swap.

POST 4Original post

Calling @e30rapidic -- he's done a manual swap and may have insights.

I�m pretty sure this has nothing to do with the swap. And e30rapidic helped me a bunch with the swap.
