MOT pass then breakdown.
Posted: 19 Jul 2015, 21:11
Hello everyone.As a new member can I please get your help.Passing the MOT is usually one of the highlights of the year from with my VW T25 Transporter 1.7 diesel F Reg. 89?, but check this out as soon as I leave the testing station onto the main road on comes both audible & flashing oil pressure warning.It's loud & uncomfortable enough to do anything but turn back into the testing station which was just closing 5pm."Oh it happened to me" says the tester, but I just switched off & on again. I tried that, but the same thing & as it didn't sound a mechanical fault I thought what can I do. That was some 12 days ago. I've fitted replacement oil pressure swiches from Europarts-had to pedal longish way for them. In fact after fitting the first new switch my pal told me there are two pressure switches on this engine,so I cycled the same again for for the second switch. The best result I can get after all these days is just the visual flashing warning still on. I've yet to see if the audible warning sounds if I drive the van.
Plus I've become somewhat confused as to the correct location of each switch.& which in fact is the higher pressure one. I.m not too familiar with pressure bars + or - etc.So can anyone come up with the solution please? My busking depends on it,so too my wheelie bin & yard/churchyard work.Tomorrow I'll trying a Wynn's Engine flush & new oil, but I hadn't tried this yet because I did between this MOT & the previous one,oil & filter that is, & I dont rock up above 3000 mls per annum & dont hammer it anywhere ...as the Club 80-90 says....'For lovers of T25 (T3) vans'.All we want them to do is not let us down like this. Some help from the forum will be much appreciated. I'm Stockport based. Cheers from/ Brian C.
