Ad2408 0 Posted August 12, 2006 Hi My girlfriends valver has developed a habit of the oil pressure light flashing every so often, only happened a couple of times. The engine is quite young at 78,000 miles so shouldn't have much wear so could this be down to a sender problem? Do I just need to replace it? What does it look like? Thanks in advance Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted August 12, 2006 Could be a number of things tbh... oil pump, sensor, low oil level? I'd start with the 2 sensors as they're pennies... Is there a specific time it happens i.e. on roundabouts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ad2408 0 Posted August 12, 2006 Thanks for the quick reply! Only seems to happen when the cars been on a decent run, the oil level is fine....uses a bit, not a lot though. Where are the sensors located? Thanks Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted August 12, 2006 On the top of the housing where the oil filter joins... just sorting a pic out for you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ad2408 0 Posted August 12, 2006 That would be great. Thanks for all the help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted August 12, 2006 Here you go... note that mine has an aditional sender for my gauges - its the larger bit on top of the housing - you should have 2 sensors like the one behind it. One is high pressure and the other is low pressure... Hope that helps :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ad2408 0 Posted August 12, 2006 Hopefully it will, think i've actually got a couple of those knocking about from when I had my Mk2. I'll try those and let you know how I get on. Thanks Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
