Hey all,
The dub's playing up and pissing me off again :grin: The problem is the oil light and buzzer keep comming on, now I know this is a common fault, But here's the background of the problem:
It started about 5 months ago, it would come on intermitently at about 5k revs, and when you dropped below about 2000 revs it would turn off again, this then stopped for about a month, then I fitted GTI clocks and no buzzer for about 3 months... untill today :angry: I thought the fault was with the old clocks, but I must have been wrong :rolleyes:
Now it comes on when I go about 2000 revs, and unlike before it will not go off without turning ignition off and back on..
Any ideas as to what this might be? am I advised to replace the sensors or check them first some how? it's a 1.3 BTW, any help appreciated! thanks peeps.

I had much the same problem, after replacing both oil pressue switches it was still the same, turned out the clocks were at fault so I replaced the clocks and it's been OK since
It's amazing how annoying that buzzer can be :angry:
hope this is of some help

Always a good idea to get the oil pressure checked to make sure it is just an electrical fault as the strainer on the pickup pipe sometimes get clogged up :smiley:

Yep the buzer is bloody annoying hehe!
I will crack the sump of the fooker later this week and clean out the pickup pipe, And then I have found a new sensor on one of my spare engines so Im gonna try that also, But is there any way to test the sensors? I doubt there is really as that would be to easy!
Cheers guys anyway :cool:

BTW if you're really sure the oil pressure is fine, remove the buzzer circuit completely. Its the 'L' shaped circuit board clipped to the speedo :)
If I were you I'd get an oil pressure VDO gauge fitted somewhereso you can keep an eye on the pressure of your mighty 1.3 :grin:
