got this show up today intermitantly and the car wont go over 60mph driving in any gear and it feels very weak with no pull at all, even goin over a little bridge i could feel the speed decrease :undecided:
yesterday i went over a speed bump a bit fast n the engine crashed on the floor quite hard, could this be related?
what would be the symtoms or a cracked or leaking sump?
any ideas guys?

If you have cracked the sump you would have lost all the oil really quickly.

would the car still drive though? at the mo its driving like theres a loss of pressure somewhere
will check oil level and give it a scan in the mornin
any other ideas chaps?
im guessing i should hitch a lift to work tomorrow :lipsrsealed:

yh thats what i was thinking, what to check though?
-
What to check? Oil level to start with? Is it the low oil warning or oil pressure warning?
If low oil light (yellow/amber):
could be that you ripped the sensor / cable off..
If pressure light (red):
Next, take the undertray off (if not ripped off) and see if there's a leak or see if the oil pan is scraped or bent. If it is and you don't have leaks it could well be oil pump pickup or if you done well the lot but that you hear very much.
Hope for you that it's only low oil or pan... At least that you can fix during a weekend and an old oil pan from scrappy.
-
If you hit the floor at the back of the sump then you could have mashed the oil sensor on the underside of the sump

yep pressure light (red) :cry:
-
if you cant see what it could be take some pics of the underside and post on here.
My money is on the actual sensor though if you arent leaking oil
-
had a check, oil on bare minimum, and sump looks like its leaked oil
should i replace the oil pickup while im at it? cant find a sump pan online anywhere!
-
