yes I brought a 116i 2009 from a one man used car place.I was only using the car for short journeys eg 2 miles then park up leave to shop and return back home the 2 miles.As soon as I drove for approx 40 mins (did roughly 13 miles in and out of traffic)this red oil warning light came on so as was at home luckily,turned off engine as was concerned about damage!
I left the car to next morning started it and light did not come on.So took it to shops and no light but yet again as soon as I did the longer journey again the red warning light came on so had to stop the car.I let the engine get cold and started it up and the red warning light did not appear.Took it to bmw.They ran diagnostic tests and told me "found fault code for oil pressure control for oil pressure control....requires further investigation" bmw said it would take 3 hours maybe.No way am I paying.I want to return car.wrote him a registered letter prior to the 30 days of me purchasing car from him.
Any ideas re: why ired warning light shows when I do the longer journey but not on short trips.
I am no mechanic but I understand heat and pressure.
I need to find out as the man who sold me the car is saying it wasnt there when I took car.
Any help would be much appreciated as I just want to get my money back from this sext.
Thanks
