Hi. The oil light on my '97 300TDi is behaving erratically and I'm hoping someone can help with possible causes / solutions.
Most of the time, the oil light behaves normally, but now and then it will start to come on whilst driving. What typically happens is everything is fine when motoring along for a while. Then, after a period of time, if the revs drop below about 1000 (eg when waiting at traffic lights or a roundabout) the light may come on. As soon as the revs top 1000 again, the light goes off.
I have only had the car about a week and it has done it twice now, both on short local journeys. On a recent 210 mile day trip the light stayed off all day.
I have checked the oil level and according to the dipstick it is almost at the full level.
Very many thanks, in advance
