Oil warning light takes a while to go out.
« on: 03 September 2011, 16:34:28 »
As title, recently started taking about four seconds when cold. There is no change in the sound as it goes out, so I don't think the engine is starved of oil.
I have recently changed the oil & filter, although I need the oil out soon to fit a Helicoil.
1/ Is is easy to remove the sender to fit a pressure gauge?
2/ Are the senders prone to breaking down?
3/ Are these senders the same across the range?
4/ Where are they on the TD
Thanks.
