I changed my oil about 2 weeks ago, then a week after i burned down the motorway to a meeting with a club. I don't use motorways as i dont like the extra wear on the car (sort of ocd) anyway when i was going down the motorway i noticed my oil light flickered, this was the case for days even under normal roads so i changed the pressure switch and it stopped it.

However, recently if i brake on a downhill gradient the oil light flickers but for only as long as i brake, i have also noticed it will flicker at random points when im driving along (thought not as often as when i brake) and it only does this if i release the throttle.

What could it be? Do i need to worry?

have you checked the oil level?

On numerous accounts, its constantly at full

it could just be a faulty sensor or something. The best way for you to find out would be to take it to a garage and then ask them to put a diagnostics kit on it. This should then find out if there is a problem with any sensors, switches and what not. It could even be just a loose connection in the back of the dash causing it to flicker???

I have the same problem but mine goes off when I pull off in first and keep the revs up then soon as I change up it stays on and has started tapping loudly like an old diesel transit van does, its only done 100k which isn't that high for a diesel tbh. I did a full service 2 months ago and there's no leaks or drop in oil level which is at a steady 3/4 full since I changed it.

 

helpppppp!!!!!
