Vrt is cutting out and oil light flashes


Recommended Posts

the two things could be related to a wiring fault ,  have you plugged into diagnostics to see if it throws a code up? tried the basics of taking the negative off the battery for 10 mins  and trying again .. checked all wiring n plugs?  did you give it grief and then park it up or was it allowed to cool down properly and stuff?

Never trust a oil light. Put a gauge on it. It could be one of two things going on. Most likely it is the oil pressure switch located on top of the oil filter housing. They do go bad once in a while and when the light comes on it cuts out your fuel pump to protect the motor from people that ignore dash lights. Option two, oil pump. It could be worn out and not producing enough pressure at idle. Option three. Clogged oil pump pick up tube or screen .Its not that hard to pull the oil pan and check. How many miles do you have on the motor ,and how many since the turbo install?
