Oil Light Flashing

Hi All

On the way back from Llangollen on Monday my oil light started to flicker at low revs so I stoped at the next bit of flat ground let the engines settle and checked the oil .  :shock: Loads of oil . :D


So I drove the rest of the way home . Today I had the oil and filter changed to see if that made a difference .

It didn't :cry: still flickers at low revs .
So I guess the next thing to try is the oil pressure switch .
The question is where and how hard is it to remove/replace???

And if that don't work were and how hard is the pump to replace (and of course were is the best / cheapest place to get both items from??)

There we go then the switches have been flicked and the cogs are a werrin post when ready awaiting replies

Ps If you were the Camel trophy pilot that buzzed me while I was parked on the bridge over the river Dee at the back end of corwen and flashed your work lamp at me sorry for not flashing back I did wave with my free hand but the other on was holdin me chips and mushy peas. :D

2 questions, what engine is it and what did your temp gauge say?
It's fairly "normal" (on a petrol) for the oil light to flicker at high temp's at low rev's. If it's doing it when cold, then worry. And fix it. Quickly.
HTH.

My V8 flickers on idle all the time, has done for bloody years!!   :P

lee celtic:
It's a 200 tdi temp was fine and the engine was purring ,  :)
after the oil change the light did start to flicker at low revs  as soon as the engine was up to opperating temp  :?

muddyweb:
That might be the answer then.

What grade oil did you put in ?  Was it mucho-wonga quality stuff, or cheapo-kwality stuff ?


<don't get me started on a rant about oils>
