Hello All,
Any helpful tips please. Fiat Ducato 2.8 JTD 2005 Oil light issue. The van is running and sounding completely fine. A few weeks ago after a service and timing belt the oil light started to randomly flicker a day or so later. Been back to the garage many times now, to & fro, and the following has been done over a period: new oil pressure sensor/switch, New O ring on the oil uptake, Flushed with quality product, Sump off and sieve cleaned, New rocker cover gasket, 2 Oil filter changes, Wiring checked.
They are a good garage so trust the mechanic.....
More or less each time it's been in the vans come back fine, then randomly a few days later or a few trips the light appears again. One time it was 1 mile up the road and another after two 200mile round trips.
The light is now more of less on most the time, but then has periods where it goes back to a flicker. If I increase the RPM to one 3500 it sometimes goes off for a few minutes. Today it went from on to a flicker then off for 10 miles. Started the van again and its back on.
As I said it's running well, with no noises. Engine on 86000 miles so not high.
Next on the list is a new oil pump, which has a 6 week wait on the part as it's coming from fiat. Any ideas of where to get one quicker ?
Trouble is we're running dry on ideas and each time the vans off the road I end up having to rent, in turn adding to the cost. It's been a good van, regularly serviced so worth investigating.
Any advice please? Has anyone had the same problem?
