Oil Pressure Problem - Possible Solution!

[docis200]

Hi Guys,

Ive had me Oil Pressure light coming on at idle when the car is warm. Few people on here have had the same problem. Anyway i changed the Pressure switch, Oil and Filter and still the same. Im in Ireland and i got the car in England but my uncle in law works in a garage about 40 miles away. I was getting the work done by a mate at a local garage. Happened to mention it to my uncle in law and he suggested that the oil strainer in the sump may be slighty blocked causing the poor oil pressure as the car may not have been serviced as regular as it should be!! Over time if the oil is left too long between changes it can block the strainer. He had seen a few English cars coming to the his garage with low oil pressure and must of them had blocked strainers.

Im not saying its the same for everyone but it mite be something worth a look if people are running out of options!

Im doing mine next week with my mate, its alot of work as the subframe has to come off too so when its done ill let people know if its the problem.

Hope this can help someone

Cheers,

Shane
