boost monkey 0 Posted September 28, 2008 stupid question first, have you checked the oil level? does the buzzer sound or is it just the light coming on? perhaps your oil pump has gone funny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
be here now 0 Posted September 28, 2008 just done oil an filter change so oil is cool there no buzzer sound but dnt no if iv got one just the light flashing an lots of engine noise Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richieD 0 Posted September 28, 2008 Yeah, something similar with me. The oil light and buzzer come on at 2000 revs when the engine is hot, goes off again when I downshift. Of course, 2000 revs is 50mph in 5th, so you can imagine how often it comes on! Haven't solved it yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richieD 0 Posted September 28, 2008 ...or is that 4000? I can't think properly! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd recheck the level and get someone with a guage to check the oil pressure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
be here now 0 Posted September 28, 2008 no dnt think it was running for a long time think it stalled straight away when i started it the nocking sound was quiet then it started getting louder so i turned it of going to get a sump gasket tomoro have a look c if i can see anything wrong i did put 5w 40 oil instead of my useall 10w 40 but cant see that would make any differance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted September 28, 2008 Don't think the oil will make much difference. Get a Pro to look at it before you do any damage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
be here now 0 Posted September 28, 2008 ya would like to get a pro in but going cost iv got a thew friends who r into golf so thay should have a oil pressure gauge u think i should get a smaller drive belt so i can disconect the supercharger dnt wnt to fry that just had it rebuilt last year Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
