URGENT oil pressure stop engine

[dazza]

Do a few test fits of the sump prior to applying the sealant. So when you do come to put it back on with sealant you don't touch anything.

Thanks,

Is it alright to leave it on axle stands on the semi circle wishbone mount type things for a week?

YES you can leave it on axle stands at the location you mentioned 





Plan today is get the sump off and get everything clean, then.next weekend reattach sump and.cleaned pick up pipe and re oil and then try turning it over then.

Again that's fine and I'm here hoping next weekend puts a fat juicy  upon your face when everything goes well and the car starts and purs at you once again

Had the light come on last weekend on mine, only had the car a month and was aware it could have been on longlife servicing in the past.. Turned the car off straight away (I was in town centre so was lucky) checked oil which was fine. Drove half a mile to my house and scanned car which showed no faults.
Drove 15 miles to my work the next day and had the sump and pickup off and cleaned out and did the follower at the same time. Pickup wasn't as bad as I've seen them, but managed to get it like new and sump had a layer of sludge in the bottom which wasn't pleasant either. Looks like it's just luck whether you get away with it

Will do mate, did you struggle to undo the two awkard bolts or where they reasonable?

You and me both mate!

@Reesy23 yeah sounds like you were lucky!

No mate i bought this to get the awkward bolts out.

Out of interest, Peskyjones, when was your last oil change? What oil was used?

Has the car been on long life or time and distance servicing?

[Pesky jones]

Er I had it done a month ago. Oil and filter. I asked them to check and he said it only needed a minor sevrice this year.

Ive bought some allen keys with a ball head on it and its quite long, probably 130mm long. Should be ok

[Pesky jones]

Bith photos looking up, first mainly of sump, with oil on it. Second looking at pipe (?) Above sump which looka like its dripping onto sump.





Could just be from where it was last changed but I doubt it. Oh well

The bleed nut is very tight!!

[Chris92]

Looks like oil just blowing from the boost pipes to me

Oil pressure light is a low oil pressure light. Sometimes it's low but enough to get away with driving it gently until repaired. Sometimes there is no oil pressure which will kill an engine very quickly.

The oil pressure warning will not stop the engine from starting. If it's failing to start after it cutting out - prepare for the worst

[Pesky jones]

Hmm I wonder why it isnt firing then? What would cause it to not start? @Dan_FR

update

Have taken off sump and pick up pipe. The pick up pipe gauze doesnt actually look to blocked to me, but it may be.

I need to hand crank the crankshaft to see if the engine has seized. If the pick up pipe isnt blocked enough to starve the engine, im thinking it nay be one of the cams has skipped a tooth on the chain or something. Heres pics if the pick up pipe

[r5gtt]

That still doesn't look good as some of the crap has possibly dripped off the strainer?.

I think it's a 19mm spline socket to crank nut and try turn the engine.

[Pesky jones]

Ok didny know they did 19mm splines? Ive got an m18 but thats the largest.

Do you know where this crank nut is located?

Look at the seventh photo for the crank nut http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?s=67076ed25668a4f7d44592d2d9027b03&t=135872&page=1
