hi to all

ive just joined the forum, as i need a little advice

I have recently brought Ford Galaxy 1.9tdi it is the 110 vw engine

its on a s-plate and done 88.000 miles with history

when i brought it and drove it home, it drove lovely

when i got home i turned engine off, after 10 mins decided to take it a little run with the family

after starting it up, the orange deisel light started flashine (engine managment light)

after a while the oil light started flashing allso

I THOUGHT OOOOOOO NO

took the car home and got in touch with auto elec, with the tools to find the fault

i changed the water temp sencor as that was the fault on the machine

i allso changed the 2 oil sencors on top of the oil filter, and the oil temp sencor

on the side of the crank

i thought i had curred the problem,

here is my question i could do with some help

 

Running round town, oil temp reads 87--91

but when i get it on the dual carraigway the temp will go to 95--99 and it makes my oil light flicker

Can anyone help me out here??

wot temp should the car run at when driving around town

wot temp should the car run at when on dual carriagway or motorway

and does anyone no what the problem could be with the oil light flickering

 

I would be very very gratefull for any info

thanks in advance

Ezra..

PS..

Just gave the car Oil change and Filter, took for drive same problem

round town oil temp up to 85--90

took on road at 70 mph, oil temp rising to 95--99 and oil light flashing

this is really starting to get to me now, as not able to take the car out
