Volkswagen Tiguan recurring oil pressure warning despite dealership checks on Volkswagen Tiguan

Problem overview

Some Volkswagen Tiguan owners report experiencing a recurring oil pressure warning despite dealership checks, which can be attributed to several potential issues. A common cause is a low engine oil level, which triggers the warning light when oil pressure drops below a safe level, indicating a possible problem with the engine lubrication system. Additionally, some owners find that a faulty oil pressure sensor, whether damaged, dirty, or unplugged, may also be responsible for the warning. Another potential issue could be a malfunctioning oil pump that fails to pump the necessary amount of oil, resulting in inadequate lubrication and triggering the warning light. If the dealership has already inspected the vehicle and the problem persists, it is advisable for owners to have these specific areas reevaluated or to seek a second opinion from another authorized Volkswagen service facility for a thorough diagnosis.
