The only time I ever see my oil light come on ('96 855 T5 166K) is when I'm really really going for it off standstill and sometimes in 2nd up a hill :B_steerin. It blips on momentarily - 2 secs max - and I was wondering whether I've got something wrong :slap: , or whether it's just the oil in the sump being pushed back due to the rocketlike acc, causing the sensor to misread :
(excuse the crap ASCII art, but imho there should be more ASCII art car maintainance resources :haha: ;))
-----------force------------->
<----------motion------------
sensor
| || __.-._.-~`|
| || __.-._.-._ |
| \/ __.-._.-._ oil |
\.-..-..-.___________________________/ <- sump
So the oil is at the back, and the sensor isn't dipping in it anymore.
This has only ever happened since i've had a 280bhp map, and the launch from the lights is impressively improved.
Reassure me it's all ok!!!!!
