The culprit? Low oil pressure.
This reduced oil pressure is a common issue in all Volkswagen and Audi models equipped with the EA897evo 3.0 TDI V6 engine, including:
This problem affects hundreds of thousands of VW and Audi vehicles manufactured after 2013.
Why Is This So Dangerous?
Apart from low oil pressure, another major issue is the delayed low oil pressure warning.
The warning “TURN OFF ENGINE” only appears when pressure drops below 0.6 bar—by then, it’s already too late to save your engine from catastrophic failure.
We Can Fix It & Save Your Engine!
Prevent engine failure due to oil starvation by correcting the oil pressure settings in the ECU.
Know the Causes – Prevent Engine Failure!
We strongly recommend learning about all the causes of 3.0 TDI engine failure to protect your vehicle. Understand the root causes of CRT engine failures – before it’s too late! 🚗💨
The reduction of oil pressure at low engine speeds was intended to lower the energy required to maintain that pressure. The method used to achieve this was the introduction of a variable-displacement oil pump, controlled by the engine’s ECU.
By reducing the power needed to drive the oil pump, manufacturers aimed to improve fuel efficiency and emissions.
The entire system was implemented to meet EURO 6 emissions standards.
The engine control unit (ECU) receives data from the oil pressure sensor and adjusts an electro-hydraulic valve to regulate oil pressure. This ensures the pressure aligns with the predefined map, which considers factors such as engine speed and oil temperature.
That should be obvious to anyone familiar with engine mechanics.
The Reality: Engine Failure at Low Mileage
Our workshop regularly sees Volkswagen and Audi 3.0 TDI vehicles equipped with these variable-output oil pumps—many of which suffer from seized engines after just tens of thousands of kilometers!
In many cases, the damage is so severe that repairing the engine is simply not cost-effective.
Check Your Engine Type
Make sure your vehicle has this engine:
If you have the EA897evo engine and the oil pressure settings have never been adjusted, your engine is at serious risk of seizure due to low oil pressure.
Check Your Engine’s Oil Pressure!
You can read the oil pressure using any diagnostic scanner.
We Adjust Oil Pressure While You Wait! The process takes about 30 minutes.
In the video, we show you exactly how we do it.
By increasing the oil pressure, you’ll save your engine from seizure and avoid massive repair costs.
The graphs below show how oil pressure increases as engine RPM rises.
This represents the oil pressure in a 2016 Audi with factory settings.
This low oil pressure puts the engine and turbocharger at serious risk of premature failure.
This represents a 2021 Audi, where Audi engineers silently updated the oil pressure map—though they haven’t officially stated why.
While the pressure is somewhat improved, it’s still not ideal for long-term engine protection.
This shows oil pressure after our optimization, ensuring much better lubrication and engine protection.
With these adjustments, your engine gets the oil pressure it actually needs, significantly reducing wear and the risk of catastrophic failure.

The Problem? The Warning Comes Too Late!
⚠️ At this level, a V6 TDI engine’s crankshaft is already seizing!
The warning should appear much sooner to prevent irreversible engine damage.
Why Is This Happening?
In 3.0 TDI EA897evo engines, the low oil pressure warning is controlled by the ECU. The threshold for triggering this warning is programmed into the ECU itself.
Our Solution – Fixing What Others Don’t!
When we modify the oil pressure settings in Audi and Volkswagen 3.0 TDI engines, we also adjust the warning thresholds, ensuring that the system alerts you before it’s too late.
Other workshops don’t do this—but we do.
Increase Oil Pressure – Save Your Engine!
By raising the oil pressure and fixing the delayed warning system, you’ll prevent engine seizure and avoid massive repair costs.
