Broke down today

Well the truck has been running really nice recently after getting the egr valve cleaned. Haven't taken it on a really long journey yet but my 20 mile round trip to work has been fine.

Still, running some errands today and the oil light flickered on for a second. Kept an eye on it and it stayed off but after parking up to get a sandwich it had left a nice puddle of the black stuff on the floor!

Dropped it into the garage fearing the worst and an expesive repair bill to be rang a couple of hours later to say it was fixed!!

Turned out to be the oil pressure sensor/switch under the turbo which had gone and was allowing oil to blow through. New one fitted and jobs a gud un (and not that expensive)! Am lucky to have a good garage nearby!

Result.

Cheers

You sure about that fella ? The oil pressure switch is on the opposite side of the engine to the turbo

[fogman]

its an 03 so maybe it has the newer engine type boxy ?

EPC says they are the same bud which was why I was confuzzled

[fogman]

in that case then

[th4neuk]

buggered if I know. They had it on the ramp and it pumped oil out of it. They replaced it and it's dry now. Might be me who has got it wrong though

Just pleased it's fixed again as can do without a big bill at the minute

Cheers
