Driving away from the main dealer annual service the oil pressure warning came on (picture of an oil can plus beeping noise) before I even got out of the premises.

The dealer blamed swarf disturbed by the oil change (but still, oddly enough, down in the engine) blocking the oil pickup pipe. They asked for an initial £250 to drop the sump and inspect the problem.

Next day, the head mechanic had a brainwave. The parts department had given the mechanic the wrong filter. Apparently Audi are changing to a new type of filter fitting. It doesn’t seat properly on the A2 housing resulting in no oil pressure (but presumably it fits well enough to fool the mechanic fitting it).

Proper filter fitted, problem solved. Only damage - a few more grey hairs.

Anyway, one to watch.
 
I like the way they wanted £250 to find the problem when its obviously something they have done considering it wasnt doing that when it went in.
