Oil Warning Light?

Post by h8cak » Tue Jul 15, 2008 8:16 am

Right i have just had the new turbo fitted and all seams fine apart from the oil warning light? Every time you rev the car the warning light comes on? What could this be?

It was a local guy. He looks after the TOP GEAR Camera stelth audi A3's so knows his stuff. It was like this before it went in for the turbo.

S3 1.8T?

The oil pick up pipe is blocked.

Remove the sump and clean the oil pick up chances are there will be some restriction in the strainer.

Fix it otherwise you will have a further turbo to change with no warrenty.

Is it worth changing the oil pump too?
