RE: blinkin oil light

["Patrick Bureau" <pbureau@home.com>]

fox,

are you getting 1.8bar at running engine over 2K on your secondary guage, if
so
then I would think pcb board in dash, otherwise your oil pump needs to be
changed.

I had this happen to me some time back, and after sticking in 20w50 in the
car the light would not turn off, checked the pressure above 2000 RPM,
(running 3000) and I only had 1.4bar, (which means the pressure does not get
to be closed) and had to replace the oil pump.


g'luck
Patrick

BTW : engine section page 3-35 checking dynamic oil pressure system warning
system
in the bentley describes this quite clearly (in the 85-89 8v-16v bentley
that is)

  okay, brain this. my '84 does the same thing. oops, additional oil
pressure gauge says everything is okay. replaced the senders. what's
next? did someone mention something about replaceing the oil pump? i
hope not, but if so.... that damn light's going to drive me nuts.
