Swampy442 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 The sensors are known to fail, its located on the engine near the dip stick access on the sump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Which oil light? Orange or Red? Orange is level Red is pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Thanks swampy�� Is that the oil pressure sensor ? No, the oil level sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Did it come on when you were hard on the brakes? (We're you driving it hard?) As Swampy said level sensor is in the upper sump, you can get to it easily with the passenger side front wheel off, I think you can see it from above looking down near the oil dip stick, I think the connector is green? Oil pressure sensor (these can leak) is nearer the front of the engine up behind the aircon compressor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
