Hi all got in tonight and noticed my oil light on, checked oil, was abit low topped it up and hey presto - yep the bloody light still on

any ideas?

cheers

busted sender or trapped sender wire (i.e earthing out).

Either that or your engine is about to expire.

 

expire hope not its been rebuilt bout 1000 miles ago!!! i will try the earthing thing, i did put a s/steel battery cover on tonight could be something to do with that
will also check that i topped it up enough.

cheers fuzz

 

the light isn't an oil level light, it's an oil pressure light, no amount of topping up will fix the light if it is about to expire.
Probably the lead just fell off.
Do you know what to look for ?

Andy

 

No!!! not a clue where to start!!

 

The bottom one...

between and behind the alternator and powersteering pump.

note the sensors are defi ones but the location is the same


Andy

 

oh ****!!! i thort that was the temp sensor!!! i changed that tonight!!!! better get the old one out of the bin!!!!

where is the temp sensor go - i was told it went under the inlet manifold - thort that was the place!!!

 

 

temp sensor is the one behind the oil pressure (slightly to the right and screwed in horizontally) that is on a 2000 car

If yours is an early car it is screwed into the same cross pipe but on the back of it behind the manifold.


Put down the spanner and step away from the vehicle.


Andy

 

pmsl!!!!

trust me!!! nevermind, i dont usually get things wrong, just didnt know bout them two sensors!!!

thanks again will sort it out tonight

bitch to get at the early ones, you'll need to pull off the breather pipes to get at it.
