mrben Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I'm going to attempt to remove the sump to see if the mesh thing that the oil lifts up through is clear, as i think the top end isn't gettiing enough pressure on tickover. Does anybody know if there is any problems i might encounter....Thanks. Quote
chromedome Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) There was a recent post about low oil pressure and the oil retention valve in the oil filter. This is not present in all filters and can cause top end noise at low revs. Can't work out how to post the link, sorry. It was posted 15 May. Edited June 5, 2014 by chromedome Quote
mrben Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Posted June 5, 2014 Hello. Yes i'v checked and i do have a 'Mann' filter on. These filters are meant to have the correct quality valve in. Quote
BrianH Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 Hello. Yes i'v checked and i do have a 'Mann' filter on. These filters are meant to have the correct quality valve in. Which engine and what oil are you using? Quote
mrben Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Posted June 6, 2014 Its 1.9 tdi mk 1, not a pd. Use the 505.01 spec oil. It sounds like just one tappet tapping away. Getting high milage now, but I do oil and filter every 4 months. Quote
