oil buzzer / light
« on: 16 February 2009, 00:03 »
just driving my oil buzzer and light will randomly go off and the light will start flashing, then after a few second turn off and be normal again, checked my oil and it is fine! would this just be a knackered sensor?

that wants to be treated very seriously.

pressure sensors  are quite relaible.  get oil pressure checked if ok fit new sensors.  if dose it again  sumps got to come off  and oil pump needs checking/replaceing

When my oil gets a bit old/thick, i sometimes get one flash of the oil pressure light when its cold. Oil/filter change sorts it out no problem.

Not the buzzer of doom!
I had a mega problem with this on my old engien i tried: circet check (no breckes), sender x3 skrap yard, GnS and dealer, new lifters, thicker oil and oil pump turned out the bottom end woz shot!! should make 2 bar at 2200 rpm wen around 70c (good VDO preasure guage)
Then on new motor had anouther attack not that long ago that woz just the plug on speedo woz'nt clicked in right!!

i just has the buzzer and light, but one of my oil pressure senders isn even connected up.
I think its beacuse of the 20v conversion, i do however have a mech. oil pressure gauge and the pressure is fine on that, should i be worried or can i count on the mech. gauge and not the dash one?
