    Default ...Shut engine off and "Oil Pressure Sensor" shows on my display

    I just got my car back from the shop. The engine was replaced with a new one from bavarian auto recycling and when I turn off the car I get a message on my display of "oil pressure sensor." Have any of you had this problem before? I looked this up at bavauto.com and I can only find oil pressure switch. I am assuming this is the same thing as a sensor. Do I need to replace it? any suggestions welcome.

    i just sprayed the switch out with a crap load of brake cleaner and put a new oring on it... but that may or may not work in your situation.
