start up oil pressure warning

[Neil20]

Hi
searched forum and could not find anything simliar so here goes,does anyone have an oil pressure warning bleep for about a second on start up hot or cold mine seems to do it.
No other oil pressure warnings and normal pressure seems to be fine as per most other postings.
Sorry only had car about 1 month and still nervous.
Car is a T350T 05 model.

Perfectly normal - when the engine fires up you can see the oil pressure building up on the display, and until it reaches a certain value (not sure what that is), you get the warning. Don't rev the engine (even gently) until the warning goes away. I then rev gently to around 1300-1500rpm as this engine speed I understand pumps the oil efficiently to the head with minimum wear.

Enjoy!

Yeah, mine is the same.
Just changed the oil sender unit as i had the oil pressure warning come on + a small leak from it.
New one works fine but just a bit expensive £68 with the VAT

The oil pressure sender units don't seem to be particularly reliable, unfortunately......
