My 2011 Countryman with about 40k miles that is giving me a sporadic low oil pressure warning. It's happened a few times when driving on the freeway for over an hour or so. I've immediately pulled over and checked the oil level and it's fine. After restarting the engine the error was gone.

It happened again yesterday after another long drive. This time the warning went away before I could even pull over. Again, the oil level is fine.

I bought a new oil pressure switch to eliminate that as a possibility but I can't find it to replace it. Any idea where it is? Anything else I should be considering?

looks like its attached to the oil heat exchanger by the filter housing

 

Ostojo,,

Did the new sensor fix your problem? I just purchased a 2011 Countryman S All4 with 146k on it. It's doing the same thing yours was. There's plenty of oil, and it doesn't seem to do it while idling or sharp braking, so I'm thinking an intermittent connection,or a bad sensor.

Any update on this issue? My 13 countryman is doing the same I just ordered the pressure sensor
