Crd2.8 Oil Pressure Light

[wherry]

Hi

Could anyone recommend a garage that could check my oil pressure? The light has been on for a few days and my local garage near Kingston (SW London) day they can’t “talk” to the car to check it.

Just as I’m getting to the end of a brutal divorce, no money so hoping this isn’t something major, else it’s bye bye Grand Voyager.

Thanks in advance

Usually by the time the light comes on you're already down to a few PSI pressure, from memory something like 8-10 psi. If by then you haven't stopped immediately,you'll wreck the engine. The fact that yours has been on for a few days does suggest that it's just a bad sender unit.

 

The only other thought is that if your oil level is very low and you're sucking up air, that could put the light on.

Try the 'key dance'to get the actual codes in the BCM EEPROM.

 

The ODB code occurs twice. Once long term out of your control and needs a full diagnostic to clear it. Once short term, sometimes (but not all) taking the NEG battery terminal off for 20 minutes will 'clear it'.

 

Be aware 2.8 are all MkIV 2004 and above and above and radio code is safe. So IGN off, bonnet up, keys in your pocket, driver's door closed but NOT locked before you start.

 

Your car will go mad checking each function when you reconnect battery cable. Door open, P for park, foot take on, keys in IGN, wait other checks.

 

Might, might not!. Better than the breakers option. All Indi's have scanners, you need to tell them it's '04 year code you want clearing. Best of luck M8.

Can't believe you've been driving around with oil pressure light on, just can't. The sump oil has been checked, has it, as no mention on here.
