Low Oil Pressure

Ive got a 14 plate Insignia thats showing low oil pressure on the dashboard. I took it to a garage a few weeks ago and they said it was either it needed a software update or a new oil pressure sensor. They also tested the oil pressure and said the pressure was ok. I had both done at a cost of nearly £300.

The warning didnt appear for 2 days but then it started showing up again. Ive just taken it to another garage and theyve run a diagnostic on the car and its flagged up faulty oil pressure sensor again plus a faulty fuel rail sensor.

What are my rights regarding the 1st garage about getting a refund?

Also im in some Insignia groups on facebook and apparently its a common problem and the cause of it is a faulty oil seal on the sump, but when i mentioned this to the 1st garage they said that it wasnt the problem it was the sensor.

  • Take it back to the first garage and tell them it didn't fix the problem so can they now fix it or give you a refund as you've spent £300 with them for apparently nothing.
