P38A Flickering Oil Pressure Light

EntropyUK · Aug 7, 2018

On the way to work yesterday the oil pressure light kept flickering. Pulled over and checked oil level. The oil level was fine so changed to a clean set of undies. Engine sounds normal, even on start up, but problem is still persisting today. What are the checks I need to do and what order do I need to check them in to locate the cause?

You obviously did not read the first sticky on the page then.

Dodgy sensor, or loose bolt on crank pulley.

+1 on the dodgy sensor .... ask me how I know

..... and don't leave it too long cos when they burst, the engine bay gets a "lovely" anti corrosive treatment

- you can guess how I know this too
