Hi guys, how are you.
I'm an owner of Leon Cupra 2011.
Almost every time that i open switch (sometimes i open the switch and its not happening), i have that warning.

anyone had the same issue maybe ? Know about it ?
It's strange that its appear while car is stationary - the engine is even not powered on, just the switch is ON.
Car is working perfect while engine on and while driving.

Appreciate if someone have any answer

BTW Some pics of my awesome Cupra :)

Scan with VCDS, possibly an intermittent fault with the oil pressure switch. If the loil level is ok, no nasty rattles from the bottom end, switch wiring fault?

In the pictures you posted is the front number plate the same as the rear? as you've covered up the rear!

Could be a broken seal at the tip of the dipstick. Easy and cheap to replace. Check if the plastic at the top of the dipstick is damaged, that would cause a drop in oil pressure.

Nope , the dipstick is ok also , i've talked with one car technician yesterday - he told me that there is an a unit in the bottom of the engine and its probably faulty

Could it be your oil pickup pipe getting blocked? Is it regularly serviced? How many miles has it done?what oil do you use? Do you ever use engine flush when doing an oil change?

I might be wrong here, but if the oil pressure switch is mechanical it won't show on a diagnostic.. Still I'd agree and fit a new pressure switch.. Which is an inexpensive part
