Random oil light e46

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone

So every so often my yellow/orange oil light comes on, then when I turn my car off its still on. Once I turn it back on again it goes away and and doesn't come back for a while. I checked the oil and it seems to be full. Does this mean I have an intermittent sensor?

Common fault- thermal level sensor in sump

Do you know how much they normally are and where I could get one from?

Interesting, I have the same issue. What are the side affects to not fixing this? I presume just you don't know when your oil is low?

At the moment I haven't had any side effects(had going for about 4 months) , but the others might say otherwise
