Title: FLASHING OIL LIGHT AND ALARM
Post by: cleave on 27 September 2003, 21:10

I HAVE A SERIES 3 GTI BUT I CAN NOT GET THE OIL LIGHT TO STOP FLASHING. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL THE SAME. ALSO I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT SHRIEKING ALARM COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD (I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE CONNECTED AT ALL) THE ALARM WILL SOUND FOR BETWEEN 1 AND 10 SECONDS SEEMINGLY AT RANDOM. ALSO MY SPEEDO HAS STOPPED WORKING, BUT THEN JUST VERY OCCASSIONALY WILL WORK!!!!!!
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS I AM IN MEXICO AND THE DEALER HERE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS?????? :'

The oil light and alarm are linked. Have you had the oil pressure checked?

THE MECHANIC HERE SAID THAT HE CHECKED THE OIL PRESSURE (BUT HE WAS PROBABLY NOT SURE WHAT HE WAS DOING) TOMORROW I WILL GET IT CHECKED AGAIN.

THANKS

Leave the car overnight, take the cap off, start the engine, oil should piss up everywhere very quickly, if it doesn't your pump is gone.
