Hi,
starting to get a major head ache with the car.
The original problem was the temp gauge not reaching 90c so I booked the car in for a new thermostat, I asked the bloke while it was in if he could fit a new dipstick at the same time as this needs removing to get to the thermostat and it made sense to replace this at the same time because they get brittle,
Anyway, picked the car up and now the temp sits bang on 90c,
Problem now is that with in 3 miles of driving the oil light flashed and came on "red can" I checked the oil and that's fine, so I decided to drive back to the garage in which the light came on 2 more times...
Since this happened the sump has been removed and the pick up was cleaned in case this caused low pressure, but just now the light has come on again.
I was concerned initially if they had disturbed something on the car when fitting the thermostat and new dipstick and tube when the light first came on, it seemed to much of a coincidence.
Does anybody know if there is anyway the new dipstick and dipstick tube not fitted properly could cause low pressure, before the sump comes off again and change the oil pump...
Sorry for the long yarn, any help appreciated...
