Oil light flashing after 3000 rpm
« on: 01 August 2009, 19:22 »
Hi all i have just got another mk2 1.8 k jet today.Just had a new headgasket and a bit of head work done.Starts and runs fine no smoke rattles anything.As soon as it goes past 300rpm oil light starts flashing and it starts buzzing.
Could it be pressure switch problems or try another head gasket.It has an almost complete service history never been modified in anyway shape or form and its a one lady owner any ideas.
 Thanks guys

did you disconect the leads to the switches ?   puttem them on the wrong way round upsets the light
