Oil Light Flashing

[Guest ezra]

hi to all

well after buying this galaxy 3 months ago ,ive had more trouble with it than any other car ive ever owned

when i first got it , engine managment light started to flash, oil light started flashing and the bleeping at certain revs

I got it in the garage, sorted the engine managment light out, changed the 3 oil sencors and that sorted the oil light problem out

Its been running lovely for the last 2 months or so..

This morning the wife at to go out early, she started the car up, everything fine, but as she started to pull off the yard the oil light started to flash, i flipped the bonnet and checked it for oil, its fine on the dipstick, i told her to go on her way and keep an eye on oil temp and water temp, as i no her trip was only 1 mile away to the local hospital..

She rang me when she got there, the oil light is flashing continously, does anyone have any input that might help me out here

Could it be OIL PUMP on its way out..

Or is that the worst sanario

any help please guys

cheers in advance

This morning started car up oil light on again flashing

She took it a run turned it off re started it, oil light

out again

STRANGE !!

Any help from you guys, that i can check would be helpfull

On a 110bhp model that means ....Low oil pressure...

 

could be...

 

1. Low Oil

2. Oil too thin (should be 5-40W,10-40W or 15-40W not 5-30W)

3. Worn out engine (does it burn oil?)

4. Oil pressure switch dicky

5. Oil filter blocked. Does it have a genuine filter? They have a bypass valve.

6. Oil pump failing

7. Oil pressure relief valve sticking

8. Dicky wiring

 

Driving with a flashing oil light can mean imminent engine destruction (any strange noises?)

the oil is 10/40 semi sym

it does not burn oil, (not using mutch oil in engine) no smoking

Yes genuine oil filter 4 weeks old when i did oil change

i have changed the 3 oil sencors

the other questions im not sue of

 

everything was fine

 

 

The only other thing i have done

then i had the service OIL in the display

so i held trip button in ,turned ignition on, counted 10 secs,

to get rid of that in the display

Im just wondering if its got anything to do with that ??

I have exactly the same problem - oil light flicking on while driving - no pattern to it at all - checked the oil - done a flash and fresh oil and filter - still the same - where are the sensors as this will be my next thing to try!!??
