Title: OIL LIGHT FLASHING WITH LOUD BEEPING SOUND?
Post by: badboygolf on 29 March 2007, 18:19

oryt ladz..yesterday i was driving and this time the red light continued to flash but with a load beeping sound. it comes on everytime i rev up to about 3000rpm. today i changed the oil filer, oil pressure pump, oil pressure valve and also drained all the oil out and put new oil in. so i took it for a drive and light and beeping sound come again. i went and asked this mechanic who said even he dont know what it could be. do you think because i drove the car with the oil light flashing for about a month may have damaged the engine? what do you guys think. plz dont say the enginez f**kd. my dad says the engine bearings may have been damaged. what you all think?

i`m afraid to say the engine is broke, i`d be on the look out for a 2nd hand engine because you need one

Yep it fooked!

Wont even be worth repairing. All main and other bearings plus rings and a rebore!
cheaper to find another engine.

And next time take notice of warning lights!
