Hopefully someone can help me, for the last couple of months my oil pressure warning lamp has been flashing on occasionally when I am sitting in traffic. It beeps and flashes 3 times as soon as I hit 1500 revs and then stays on until the rev counter reaches 2000 revs in 2nd or 3rd gear, at which point it disappears.
This only happens on hot days too - which makes me think that it is possibly a faulty oil pressure switch - especially as it is definitely rev dependent??
The oil level is normal, hasn't dropped enough to be topped up for about 6 months. There is however some black residue building up right on the tip of the exhaust - and on rare occasions the engine does sound slightly throaty - although this sound seems to be coming from right under the passenger seat. Does this sound like a real problem?
Any advice would be great.
Thanks
