Posted: 01 Feb 2008, 20:30
just went an hour so ago. van was cold and had been sat all afternoon . left house and had only driven 300m went oil buzzer thingy went off , stayed on continuosly . bugger!
parked up and took mrs car (had to go out) . just been out under it now looking for anything obvious . starts fine and pressure light goes out almost instantly but within maybe 30/45 seconds oil buzzer/light comes on and stays on .
oil level is fine and engine is well services since i have had it and full VWSH before that. engine is an AAZ , , just over 100k miles with FSH , runs sweet as .was fitted with original JX oil pump.
gimme a clue ? oil pressure senders or oil pump ? blocked pick up ? collapsed filter ? i know its hard to diagnose by email but what are most obvious likely candidates ?
if it is likely to be the pump , what is it i have read about clearance issues that springs to mind ? can i get one that dosnt have to be tinkered with ?
cheers elvis
