Oil Pressure Light
Posted: Mon May 31, 2010 4:32 pm
Hi everyone,
I've got a little problem ( hopefully its little!) with my V reg 1.2 16v 98k. It's all about the oil pressure light.
Had the car serviced about 3 months ago, when the oil was changed and at the same time had the oil pressure switch changed. Everything was OK until about a week ago, when the oil pressure light kept appearing. Now this only comes on when the engine is warmed up ( showing 93+ on temp gauge) and only when engine is below 1000 revs - she idles at around 820 revs.
Since the oil change I've done about 1300 miles. I have topped up the oil with 1litre of oil last week to bring it back to maximum on dipstick and checked that there are no leaks anywhere. I don't think this is excessive for a corsa with this mileage.
Anyone any ideas of how to cure the oil light appearing - apart from disconnecting the switch?
