Lazy oil pump?????
« on: July 10, 2007, 13:25:09 »
Hi,
Our 2.5 td Cherokee seems to be developing a problem. When started from cold the engine is very ratterly for 8 to 10 minutes, this then goes away but the red "check engine" light comes on. Several people have looked at it and we have been told it could be a lazy oil pump. Is this fixable? If we do not fix it will the engine go soon?
 :cry: Many thanks

Have you an oil pressure guage on that model ? If so what's it saying while this is going on ?

Hi

The first post was by a mate using my name as he was having trouble getting a logon and I think his quest is more ...

Has anybody had a problem with a lazy sensor giving a false reading on the dash as the engine does have oil pressure or has anybody had any proplems with oil ways getting blocked and giving a false reading.
