oil light/buzzer
« on: 20 December 2009, 09:04 »

the oil light with its annoying buzz has come on for about 30 seconds the past 2 days, both times prob about a minute after starting the car up. car has good level of oil, any ideas anyone.

has the weather got anything to do with it as both days its been a bit chilly?

i'd say if your oil levels are ok then you've got a knackered sensor. cold weather shouldn't cause it

Blocked pick up on the oil pump could also bring the light on.
