flashing oil light and buzzer

[hammy123]

Hi

I have got a 1985 westfailia club joker with a 2.1 petrol I had the oil light flashing and buzzer come on today on our second trip since buying it I changed the filter and oil last week the strange thing was it only happened when we were climbing long steep hills was perfect through the 180 mile journey i got home checked the oil yes there was slightly to much on the dipstick and drained off as needed would this have caused my problems any help would be great just a quick note i used 10w/40 semi syn oil would that have any bearing on things.

Oil light/buzzer if the system is working correctly is due to low oil pressure. There are two a low revs sensor and a high revs sensor it is known as the DOP (dynamic oil pressure) warning system. If it went off at speed then it sounds like your high speed DOPWS. there is loads on the wiki.

When was the oil filter last changed ? What oil did you use ? .... in other words What's changed since it wasn't buzzing ?

Hi Ian

Filter and oil changed two weeks ago I used 10w40 semi syn oil but also installed a lighter socket and was pulling a few wires round the back of the dash.

Ditch the semi-pathetic ... 15w/40 MINERAL oil is what they need. The wires you need other advice on ... many people here are electrical experts, I'm not.

Grounding that wire should have stopped the buzzer, so this indicates that it is a wiring fault not an actual oil pressure fault. My guess would be you disturbed something when fitting the ciggy lighter socket. Have a look at the ribbon cable connections behind the dash.
