does the light and buzzer randomly come on yours aswell mate? Ive had a look and there is oil around the senders. maybe i should have replaced these when i had the front end off because it doesnt look easy
-
no one have any ideas? i can go on one forum and someone will say the low pressure switch is connected to the buzzer aswell. it has come on once since i took the guy out but the engine sounds fine. The oil is clean and the levels are good.

im selling my car at the moment and whilst out on a test drive the light and buzzer came on. After reading this link - http://vincewaldon.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=40&Itemid=28 it states that the low oil pressure sensor IS NOT connected to the buzzer, and only the light. The high oil pressure sensor is connected to both. Would this be correct? If so, what would be the cause of the buzzer coming on? I had been driving the car pretty hard and got the oil temp to around 110, the guy then got in and drove it but he was taking it really steady which was when the light came on.

it was an airlock and all sorted now, cheers!

its a vr6 mate. ive been told it might be a mega airlock so what im going to do is drop the water and start from scratch with fresh coolant
-
My car overheated today(vr6)(well got to 110 on the temp gauge) and after discovering i forgot to plug in the fan motor! i refilled with water and was on my way. when i got home i was bleeding the system through and noticed the tank kept overflowing as the engine was getting hotter, then dropping right down to near empty when the fans kicked in. Ive been flushing the coolant alot recently after doing the waterpump and rad etc, and this has never happened before. The fan kicks in at the right time aswell can anyone shed any light on this as I have my car up for sale and want to get it sorted out! cheers

yes put gasket sealer around the thermostat housing. they are a pain in the arse to seal
-
this week ive had the front end off and replaced the aux belt tensioner and pulley, crackpipe, thermostat housing, thermostat, sensors housing, radiator and today i changed the waterpump and relocated the washerfluid bottle. tomorrow i will refill the coolant and see how many leaks there are
-
the engine will naturally move under load. its all down to how much movement there is mate
-
thanks mate, ive sent him a message ---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 AM ---------- im going to buy a waterpump aswell. may aswell whilst ive got easy access to the front mount
-
i got a neuspeed stat. the one in that kit will be a backup, but i will do as you say. i dont fancy taking all that apart again with the front end back on
-
bought. only leaves the rad, i heard the gsf ones aren't that good so i will bite the bullet and get one from tps. should i be sitting down when i make the call?
-
have you bought those parts for your car? seems too good a deal
