Weird ! Still no luck after following the instructions I copied to you.

That's me stuck :-k

 

I followed your instruction but still no luck. ](*,)
Someone said I need to open up the hood whilst engine running (which I didn't try yet) but that sounds weird.

Apparently, it turned out that I can't unlock/open the bonnet whilst engine is running. So, I'm back with no luck again. :-(

 

What engine you got?

If I recall correctly, some of the diesels may not have this functionality?

Maybe whatever engine you got, doesn't feature the oil sensors whatnot needed?

 

if it is always grayed-out, your engine does not support this function.

 

It's 2.0 TDi; seems like I don't have the sensor.

 

Hi guys,
To get oil level nell'MMi you need to replace the shaft of the engine oil.
Best regards.

 

What exactly do you mean by "The shaft of the engine oil"? Thanks

 

My English dictionary says "shaft" = "****" , interesting.

 

I have 2008 AUDI A6 3.2 Quattro. I also activated 'Oil Level' from hidden menu, however it does not show oil level. Doesn't my engine support this function? If it doesn't is there any way to enable it?

Thank you for your answer in advance.

 

So far no-one is known who got it working. Fact is - for all of us - that option even if activated never shows up any oil level

hi guys, sorry fur the language, replace phrase :

"rod to measure the engine oil level"
Good ?
Thank

OK MMI hidden menu' - remain grau - change rod to measure the engine oil level - active level !
Thank

 

"rod to measure the engine oil level"

Otherwise known as the dipstick.

 

So are we right in saying that the traditional dipstick (cant help sounding like Rosco P. Coltrane) is still in place, and the oil sensor fitted to the sump is a modified one that gives the information within the MMI?

Looked on Elsa, and cannot find any reference to it?

 

Hi guys,
for to enable the oil level in the mmi, have to replace the dipstick oil traditional with a dipstick sensor.
sorry my english.

THANK PETROLDAVE

I have a 4.2 Q7 and mine is also grayed out.

However, last week I got the low level oil message on the screen. Indeed the engine consumed 2 liters in 10000kms. I am guessing the engine felt lower oil pressure, hence the warning. It doesn't have the oil level sensor installed.

 

Had anyone used this, and got it working?

So guys, you say that changing the oil stick will unlock the Oil level "gray" menu? If so, a part number would be helpful.... thanks

 

any more news on this? /cheers!/H

 

1. Every Audi engine since 2004 has oil level sensor.

2. Oil dipstick has nothing to do with Oil level in MMI. Oil level and temperature sensor is different on engones suppeorted this function.

 

Ok, then anyone can help us with some part numbers? E.G. for my'04 4.2 q A8? thanks

 

Old sensor: 06E 907 660

New one: 03C 907 660 H

It's for all engines diesel and petrol.

But I am not sure it is only swap of sensors, or different cables etc. too.

For A 5 3.2 l

 

I can confirm that on my car i have the old sensor, 06E ...

My question is, if i replace the sensor with the 03C... will it show the oil level in MMI? The sensor is around 70 Euro, so i don't want to waste the money

My car - '04 A8L 4.2 Q

Thanks
