Dear Unstable Mabel
You really need to give us a bit of clue which engine you have and what the age of the van is so we can try and help....
yours Septic Peg.
seriously tho , I will assume it’s a later van , because you mention the BoD , but that all I can tell ....
please consider putting your van age, engine, body and location in your signature, it saves lots of time and questions ....

Yes - having run a 2.1 WBX for over ten years with the higher pressure buzzer of doom pressure switch shorted out by an unscrupulous engine "rebuilder" - in the event with no problems, I think the diagnostic leap to an engine rebuild is a big step on one visitation to the garage. If you consider your engine as a potential oil leak surrounded by a load of troublesome ancillaries and safety devices then you need to eliminate a whole lot of stuff before you take the step of breaking it down. Like the man says.

Re: Unstable mabel
Have they put the right oil in?
If the BoD wasn't doing it before, but straight after an oil change it's going off constantly, they've either put some thin synthetic car oil in, or broken a wire to the switch!
