Title: Oil Pressure Light - Left Hand Bend
Post by: Matty! on September 10, 2014, 10:23:59 PM
Orite lads,


this is happening a fw times now on a long left hander off the A19, Usually going into it balls deep hanging off the back of my mates 205gti...

What do I go for, ones of these baffled sumps?

Or maybe a cheap option:

Or this - the full shabang

This is all in prep for the 'ring next month and the fact that if it lives, its going to be turned into a more track focused machine.

Hahahahaha had the same happen to me 2 days ago on a long left though. Light popped an then turned off as soon as the car came back straight. I blame my standard suspension as this never happened to me when the engine was in my lowered on kw g40.

Have you fitted an oil cooler?

If you don't have an oil cooler then it's definitely worth investing in one.

However, mine used to do this and the problem disappeared after I renewed the oil lines to the charger.

Try the oil cooler first because if it is that, then at least you get an oil cooler out of it.
