Golfpro Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Just picked up the car last night after finally getting the PHR oil pump fitted (hopefully the last of any FMS problems!). Got halfway home and the oil level warning light came on. Stopped to check the oil and it is right up to max on the dipstick with brand new Silkolene Pro S. This morning when I started it the light was off but after 10 mins driving it came back on. Very strange:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Your sure its the oil level light? not the oil pressure, could be a dodgy sensor, or bad connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All lights come on when ignition is turned on so wiring must be ok. Phoned the mechanic who fitted the pump. He reconed that the oil level sensor must need cleaned/ adjusted/renewed.

Chris Wilson Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 At least it can be done without pulling the engine, it's fairly easy to renew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfpro Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 At least it can be done without pulling the engine, it's fairly easy to renew. Problem seems to be sorted now. Took the car back to the mechanic. He is about 20 miles away and there are some steep hills so had to give it a bit of stick (especially as there was a scooby sti on my tailgate who needed put in his place). The light suddenly went off and hasn`t come back on since. I guess that the sensor mechanism must have been jammed after the pump and oil changeover then was freed up when I gave it some revs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
