fault code 18 oil pressure sensor coming on when starting the car up, when i cancel the message the oil pressure readings seem normal. i only just fitted a new oil pressure sendor a week or two back with the new 'non leaky' one, is there more than one sensor?

lazyness got the better of me there, before taking a look under the bonnet just dived on the computer, recieved a message suggesting to check the earth wire to the sendor, right enough it had worked its way loose.

Hi Graham, probably nothing to worry about.
I'm on oil pressure sensor number 5 now. I finally think its ok!
Its a 10 minute fix at the dealers.

It maybe the wire going to the sender unit. Happened to me 2 weeks ago.
Secure the wire with ties or something similar. Problem solved.
