Went to stretch the fezza's legs this afternoon only to have the following symptoms:

1)The engine sounding like it had swallowed an old air cooled porsche and VW beetle in addition to its normal grunt

2)The engine oil pressure light was on and the needle at virtually zero

3)The engine warning light on in Amber

Does anyone know what the problem could be ?its a F430 F1

thanks

not heard of issue on 430 but 360 suffered from "coldstart" problems. Fix is re flashed ECUs.

Don't know the answer to your query, but sorry to hear that happening to such a nice (and new) car.

Hope it gets fixed soon.

Have you ever checked the oil level?

How did you check the oil level?

If it were mine, I'd be straight on the phone to my servicing people (without using the car again until I do) as those three symptoms would be a concern.

I did that as well, it was lifted onto a flatbed within a couple of hours of the fault. Will report back with the the diagnosis
