Oil Pressure Light
« on: November 02, 2015, 08:04:29 pm »
Was coming home from work and oil pressure light came on saying stop etc so I stopped as soon as I can and switched it off and checked my booklet and it said it could be low oil so I started it back up and drove to the nearest garage which was about 40 seconds away, parked up switched it off, topped up with oil, started it up was fine, started driving again and it came on again along with engine management light and it sounded really rough and tappy, any ideas what it can be?

Oil pickup blocked and/or oil pump failure along with what sounds like pretty serious engine damage

Is there any preventative measure for this?

Seem to hear about it a bit too often.

Drop the sump and replace the pick up pipe

It's only a Ebay one, it's getting booked in today as I still have some warranty left so I should be covered

Got phone call from garage, the oil pump has gone and it's been like it for a while and by all accounts it's never been changed so it's starved my engine of oil and has also messed the internals up, I'm not a happy chap

They said I can have another engine or I can have my money back, I think I'm going to take my money, I don't want it going again
