My Tucson is reporting Low Oil pressure - oil warning light comes on and engine goes into limp mode for a few seconds, then all appears fine. It tends to come on when the engine is warm and at first when going up hill but now it can come on when driving on level roads, again only when the engine is warm.
This started a few months ago so took action - Performed Engine flush, removed sump, cleaned out oil pickup, replaced oil and filter. Which appeared to remedy the issue for a couple of weeks.
However, when the issue returned replaced the peizo oil pressure sender - Hyundai original part at a cost of £250.
This made no difference so I booked the car into my local Hyundai garage for diagnostics. Hyundai said they could not find the cause and suggested replacing the oil pump might resolve the issue but no guarantees.
I am now at a loss as to what to do next, can't drive it, can't sell it and reluctant to spend £1,300 on a new oil pump that may not fix the problem as Hyundai said this was a best guess.
Any suggestions please?
