id probably start with the oil system flush and oil change! Id empty the oil, put the fresh stuff in along with the flush and run it through for a few (fast miles) , then empty again and replace filter. Then top up fresh oil again! This way your filter or the oil you empty with the flush may hold all the gunk that been hiding in your system.
Saying that does the light on the dash indicate a fault with temperature or pressure... :S
Obviously if the system has been flushed clearing all build up or obstructions inside, along with your sump and pick up pipe as well, that of course just leaves the pressure... maybe a fault with the pump
Then again may just be a faulty sensor
So the hunt begins i guess..... good luck !
Hello mate
Yep, seems like this is gonna be a pain in the aRSe i know it, drove the car again tonight and the light never came on.......... when it started doing it, the light came on at idle almost all the time although the day the problem started, the car was swiftly off the road. Oil pick up pipe taken out and then cleaned and now it only does it when the fan kicks in when very hot and is intermittent, not every time. So an improvement at least!
I also notice that my nice new blue coolant is now a shitty brown colour now I've put a few miles on it so i'm thinking the system might just need a clean out
I've got a fresh can of oil, new ford oil filter, engine flush and have now bought an oil pressure switch from Burton Power. Will see what happens when all that is done!
Someone who knows what they're doing will fit the switch LOL!
