trubac Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hello overthere !Just after a 100km trip (mainly motorway at 70mph) the oil warning light lighted up when the engine is at low revs ... When cold it is fine but now when warm the warning lights gets on at low to med revs.The oil level is normal, the car is running fine, no overheating ...I suppose the culprit is the oil pump so few questions :- can it be the oil filter that is blocked ?- is it possible to change the oil pump in situ ? do I need a new one or can it be reoaired DIY ?- is there other area to look ?Thanks very much for helping !I'm posting in the 1300 and Spitfire section.Gilles from Dieppe (FR) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32valves Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hmm, what oil are you using and how long has it been in there ? Try some 20W60. Also, change the pressure sender first and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzer Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 You could try taking out the oil pressure relief valve and seeing if a bit of old gasket or anything isn't holding it open. Seen this a few times on low oil pressure problems. Quick painless thing to check as well.Dazzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
