Mines isn't working currently. Really need to get round to getting it fixed. Hopefully it's just needing regarded although I noticed that one of the pipes looks like it has been damaged.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great wee car. I just wish I'd held off and got the colour I really was after. The black does clean up well but it stays clean for about a day and that's it. Think I just have to treat it to a few bits an pieces and all will be fine again.
As the title says what is the sensor just to the left of oil filter? I think it's the oil pressure sensor but I'm not to sure. Can any one confirm or deny this.
Thanks
Just done a 250 mile trip around the highlands the day. Didn't miss a beat and was pretty good on petrol aswell considering the roads. I've had it just over a year now and apart from the alternator and a track rod end going nothing has went wrong with it. Much better than my old car which was a vw.
Think ill do this to mine now that the original one is proper dead now.The rubber that should be in decided it didn't want to be part of the car at some point the day so I won't need to bother cutting it out lol.
I would recommend Fuchs pro race. I've noticed that in mine it's has helped reduce the amount that it is using since changing to it. Not that it should be using oil anyway but that's another issue though.
Mines also does it. My thought is that when the car starts, the voltage drops enough to confuse the ecu. Once it's started it's fine. Only think this because when my alternator died these lights came on. Eventually the rest of them came on before it died.
I've no idea why they'd all come on...
Can't say I've noticed mine come on either yet the bulb works. Filling it right up usually confirms that the fuel gauge is a bit innacurate when its past a quarter of a tank. The trip computer seems more accurate at telling how much is left.
Mines done the same thing. In the end the problem turned out to be the alternator was knackered so the battery was flat. If it does start check to see that your getting between 13/14 volts across the battery to make sure that it is charging.
I agree. Best taking it to someone who knows what there doing. I just thought it may be something similar to what mines was doing. Dodgy idler pulley on the aux belt.
Was about £470 from swr. Resealed the rocker cover while the belt was off aswell. Tbh I'd say its more likely to be something to do with the aux belt. It's more exposed than the cam belt. Also I think one of the pulleys on it sits quite low behind the wheel arch liner so there's a chance waters...
