no oil warning light
« on: 24 May 2006, 15:36 »
Can anyone identify where the various oil warning sensors/senders are in the engine bay please as I don't have a warning light on ignition. Cheers

you have 2 senders, low & high pressure.  The low pressure sender is the black/brown one with a blue wire, high pressure is the white one with a yellow wire.  If the car is a 16v both are in the oil filter housing, if its an 8v then the low pressure is on the side of the head and the high pressure is on the filter housing.

It may be a problem with the oil pressure warning circuit board, the 'L' shaped circuit attached to the back of the speedo.  A dodgy 'fix' for the oil pressure warning buzzer going off is to remove the board altogether :rolleyes:
