<< < (2/2)

matt_walker31289:
as i told you i had this happen on my truck,

got lazy and didnt chainge the oil for 8000 miles when i did it came out thick and black.

then on tick over after 400 miles of doing the oil chinge the oil light would come on, but you could get over it by picking up the reves.

took it to a garage when it came on on the A38 doing high reves at 65mph and he said it was a bad pump.

hope it is of some help.

Sounds like a dodgy radiator

Yep, but rads are the one thing I don't have at the moment, need to break a 200 or 300 with a good rad and grab one out of that.

hope this helps but the 200 should have a 82 stat in but most seem to have a 88 in , this slightly higher water temp then not cooling the oil so much as it passes through the oil cooler . the other thing is there is a thermostat for the oil cooler which is located in the oil filter housing. not dear to change . i had a similar prob with my 200 but was only when towing and getting really warm . wouldnt have thought it would be a prob in todays temps but you never know. what grade of oil are you running on  ?. iff your sure your oil pressure switch is working properly ,check the wiring and make sure its not going to earth any where ,  alan..
