MK2 GTi 8V - oil light issues
« on: 26 July 2011, 11:31 »
hello. i recently got the head off and replaced the stem seals as it was smoking like a chimney. having put it back together i had a few problems getting the timing correct. i then established the dizzy cap was out by 180 turn. having it back together it does fire up and drive no problems. after the first day, trying to start it in the morning was ok but it seemed to be shaking quite alot (sorry if thats not the right term to use). i then revved it and it settled down to idle.

the issue now is that once its at idle the oil light on the dash flashes. when revved it turns off. i left it running for a few mins then to find the buzz warning come on. oil level seems to be fine and no leaks.

any help would be great as i dont know where to start!
