Oil Light Flashing


Recommended Posts

Hi

i have had the cambelt done along with the water pump, when i got the car back, the oil warning light flashes after it goes over approx 3500rpm, the oil level is fine and the oil pump is working fine, the enging management light has come on, after doing diagnostics on it, it was saying the purge valve, i have replaced that but am still getting the oil light flashing at me!

can anyone help?

thanks

ok, quick update, have replaced the purge valve, camshaft pressure actuator, and the camshaft timing adjustment for the vvti, the oil light is still flashing and have also noticed one of the fuses keeps on blowing in the fuse box(i think its fuse number 30, will have to double check)

they have also refitted the cambelt adjusting the notching(once clockwise, then twice anti-clockwise) btoh times the car drove like a pile of crap, so dont think it could be that,

does anyone have an idea as to what the problem could be?

Check the oil pickup pipe inside the sump. If it's blocked, oil will not have been getting to the top of the engine properly causing the VVT System to run dry and kill itself.

Does it sound very 'Ticky' when it's running ?
