Oil pressure – or more precisely the lack of it – in certain parts of your Volkswagen’s engine can become a major repair nightmare. All engines lose a certain amount of oil pressure over time as normal wear increases bearing clearances. But unusually low oil pressure in an engine, regardless of mileage, is often an indication that something is seriously wrong and requires immediate repairs.
That “tappet” noise may be only one sticking lifter but it may also indicate an oil flow problem that will eventually cause damage to at least one valve. A flickering oil light is more difficult to troubleshoot if your engine is not obviously in need of major repair work. The best idea is to keep it maintained and ready for the road.
Modern engines with hydraulic lifters, tight tolerance bearings and miniature oil filters require conscientious monitoring of oil pressure. Peak Auto can help you keep your VW in Peak performance.
