Stilo 1.6 Petrol 2004 Oil Light Fault

[Ashraf]

Hi

Got this one in Customer complaining that the Oil Lights coming ON when he turns steering to right only but, while driving at normarl its fine even at stand still its fine.

Have checked all the wiring's its fine so replaced with new oil pressure switch but, still its the same.

Wondering if any one has come a cross some thing like this or any idea what could it be.


Thanks

Oil pick up pipe in sump may be blocked.

Hi  Bogota

Thanks for the reply.

Is it common on them to get blocked ? and if so then why the light's coming ON only when turning to right corner on speed only and not at any other time.

Ash,

May seem like a bone qestion, but is the oil level ok.  Bogota may have a point, if pick up pipe is sitting on right side of sump then a right hand turn may cause oil to surge to the left and give momentary starvation!  As you say only hapens at speed and not stationary.

Hi Kev

Thanks for the reply.

Yes the oil level is fine its been serviced with New oil filter and new oil  .

Well if that's the thing as per Bogota than i think Sump has to come out 

Will do that its looked in for next week will let you know the out come of it.

Thanks

What I always do with these kind of faults is hook up my oil pressure tester and go for a drive. You'll soon see if there is a problem. You do get some strange looks driving down the road with a pressure gauge taped to the windscreen though
