My wifes fab 1.4mpi oil light is staying on yet there is plenty of oil in the car what now:eek:

It will be either an oil pressure switch - cheap fix, or low oil pressure = expensive :(

I guest it may be one of them i hope it the switch:( its only got 57000 on the clock

It will be either an oil pressure switch - cheap fix, or low oil pressure = expensive :(

I changed the Timing chain yesterday it was noisy i first flushed the engine then took of the sump gave it wash with thinners put her back together new oil new filter oil light still comes on after driving a short time i can then hear a slight tappet noise when i get out the car thats not there when she is cold So its Oil pressure:( I dont know ware to start now may be oil pump:rotz:

You will get a better idea of the engine condition if you fit an oil pressure gauge

and take it from there.

If the engine is knocking, it sounds like the big ends are shot :(

Hi no she is not knocking she sounds sweet now after doing the timing chain until she is hot and i can hear the tappets i phoned my dealer they could not see a pump on there system so i went to my local parts shop they did a few phone calls turns out they don't sell a pump they sell parts to replace the worn out parts of the pump

All my worry was for nothing it turns out it was the oil switch the tappet noise must have been there i just could not have heard it for the noisy chain
