Besides who cares about the OP and and what his concerns are?    
But in all honesty I think the pressure sensor and pulling the pan to look at the trap doors and pickup is a good start...
 
That is if Kram says its okay.

ECS has nothing to do with this. I'm not always right. Stop being butthurt because I would by a Pierburg water pump from FDC even though you had bad luck with some parts you got from them.

I know you are, glad to see you admit it. You haven't acted so childish towards me since then.

You keep proving it. You think you're being cute and adding in pictures, but you're not. Just a child behind a pc is all you're showing.

I'm just going to sit back and see how far this hijacked thread goes. 
 
BTW, Pdwight, have you resolved your oil light issue? That was the issue, correct?

 Totally unrelated problems. Start there.

Checking the lip on the brake rotors is now going to be step 1 for all procedures from now on, replacing the "check for both rear fog lights working" step. :dance:

Dude. It's like we said your name too many times. KRAM36, KRAM36, KRAM......
 
I made one joke based on his other thread, and offered my opinion or suggestions to the oil light. Sorry you didn't appreciate it. You dissected my joke into your issue with rotor edges, and brought a mess of pics in to prove it. Please, let it go.

Love how you put 'pics of wife' ahead of 'pics of car'.  A man with his priorities straight! As long as the wife looks as good as the car.

That's cool I forgot about that, something actually productive you said rather than just trying to get the last word on every conversation.

You did not do that with a worn out rotor did you?

I wonder if a sticky trap door on the sump can cause that.

Only if the rotor edge cut into it first. Then it could ground out and stick.
