Oil light/pump/sensors

Recommended Posts

The oil light on my 16v comes on every now n then. When you blip the throttle, it goes away. Car seems to run and go fine. Im hoping its just the pressure sender, but its got high mieage, and happens more often 1/2mins after Ive opened up the throttle, which makes me think its something more sinister like the pump. Anyone got any ideas?

Check and see if its leaking oil around the sender.

 

Another possibility may be the oil pump is going out...maybe.

Mine does this too! Only after I've been giving it some stick! I think the pump maybe on the way out!

I changed the oil pressure sensors, done an engine flush, put a vag oil filter on, and some syntax silver. No more oil light...

 

Lovely.
