    Did you check the oil level (presuming you can on that car)?

    Split out from an older thread.

    You will get a stop start error if there is any other fault with the car. It won't turn itself off encase a fault will prevent it turning back on and leaving you otherwise stranded.

    If you have an oil pressure warning I wouldn't be driving the car until it's been checked, it could be detrimental. Seeing as it's 162 call your nearest dealer and they'll have it recovered in to them, it's the safest option.

    Getting a low oil pressure warning a fortnight after a service would have me concerned that there may be an issue with the sump plug not being tight or the oil filter leaking etc.

    It's hard to say really as a check engine light and limp mode could be brought on by any one of a thousand different things, literally.

    You havn't really said anything that would suggest a mechatronics fault though.

    Doesn't matter if others have issues. The dealer has tried to fix the issue and hasn't resolved it. Time for you to read the sale of goods and supply of services act and then see what the dealer offers.
