ConnorWood96 Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Basically my oil light has been flashing for about 3 weeks now, usually after about 10 minutes of drive obviously when the car gets warm, I had it serviced about a week ago thinking it might help but nothing, was told it could be a faulty sensor in the sump, anybody know how I can find this sensor and/or had similar problems?

FlipFlops Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 I'm not sure on the sensor but i would get the car scanned to see what faults come up too. There's usually people on the the fb selling pages that can give cars a scan. There's a chap near me who charges £15 and comes to your house and scans the car with his Snap On diagnostics.

Sausage Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Take out the oil pressure switch (that turns on your oil warning lamp) and test it it on a bench or just buy a new one for about £10 and fit that. Check the wiring to the switch while there. If no change then oil pump or blocked strainer in sump. Or just a worn engine that would be much happier with thicker oil in it to allow for the wear. I have no idea where the pressure switch is but likely on the block or head with a single wire to it.
