My colleague has a lovely Ghibli petrol that he has had for a couple of months. When he got it he had lots of problems with spurious warnings on the dash and it went to the main dealer for rectification. Turned out it was a duff battery and a new unit has pretty much sorted everything out. Well, almost. For the past month he has been waiting for the dealer to get back to him on his one remaining fault. ................... the symptoms of which are that when he lifts off at medium - high revs he immediately gets an oil pressure warning message on the dash. Foot back down and it goes, lift off and its back. Oil levels and pressures have been checked and all are ok. The dealer says it's a fault that has affected a number of cars and they are waiting for a solution from Italy. My colleague however is getting increasingly frustrated as it is spoiling his enjoyment of what would otherwise be a dream car for him.
To me it looks like an electrical connector issue in that maybe something is flexing in the wiring as the engine moves on its mounts on the lift off, but I cannot see anything obvious under the bonnet, but thats just a wild guess. I doubt its the sender because the car behaves normally at all other times.
The dealer is being a bit pathetic tbh and if there is any more "knowledge out there" that can help to solve this mystery I'd be happy to pass it on to my colleague
