I went for the easy fix and bought a brand new sensor. I hooked up the icarsoft yesterday and while only the egnition is on it reads that there is preasure, as soon as i turn the car on, the preasure is gone. So the wiring then must be in order.

The car is a 8 cylinder gas.There is oil presure because this oil warning light has happened 3 or 4 times on the freeway and if there was no oil I think the engine would have died by now.I usuallystop the car and restart and then it is fine,one time the warning went away and things went back to normal after a few seconds. Also today when the car was started cold there was a temperature coolant sensor and coolant level warning.But the car was ice cold that is 2 systems that are not right the oil system and coolant temperature warning with intermitent problems.Any ideas?

Oil pressure measurement fault
My belief having seen cars with this fault and all the repairs done up to and including the oil pump replacement is that Porsche is ignoring that they have a software issue they are ignoring. It happens only in Sport Plus which does change the oil pressure. The fault says MEASUREMENT problem. I have put in sensors and solenoids before I realized it is yet another case of Porsche not caring about the stuff they already sold.

Thank you for the picture. I replaced pressure sensor today. The difficulty is installing with 2 long screws. Part is $167, and oil change.
Many thanks for your contribution without your picture I could not accomplish the task. Porsche dealer wants $1.1K.

Burning Brakes
I replaced the sender unit yesterday, (which was not as hard as I expected) the gauge now show the oil pressure at 5 bar at full revs and the moment the revs drop the pressure on the gauge also drop. It does not stay at 5 bar for a few seconds as it use to.
The oil monitoring failure warning is also gone.
I will see what is does in the next few days and let you know if the problem return.

The tool is expensive if you bear in mind you will use it just once so I had one made by an engineering shop for a fraction of the cost.
I replaced the solenoid about a month ago and the problem has not returned so this seem to have been the culprit in ma case.
