    Did you do a google search for that exact phrase? I copied and pasted it into google and the hits came back to this very forum and others.

    Yep. Used to happen on my old engine. Oil pressure fault is what ODIS said every time.

    I will add; the only time I've seen this fault is when I installed a used motor in a Q5. The oil pan was dented and pushed into the oil-pump-pick-up(say that 5 times fast).

    At low engine speed it was fine, but the restriction of the pan pressed against the pick-up tube caused a loss of pressure @ high RPM. Replaced the oil pan and GTG.

    These engine are notorious for low pressure @ low rpm. The low pressure at high RPM is rare...from my experience

    What I'm saying is ...crawl under the car and make sure there isn't a big dent in your oil pan.

    Yep i just solved the problem. One of the oil pressure switch connertor/header something idk what to call it was not connected was just hanging lucking didn’t got tangled into the radiator fan. No more warning when i push the engine to 4,000rpm.

    I assumed you checked the basics before posting. Good fix!
