Oil presure fault

[cph]

HI ALL IM HAVING A BIT OF TROUBLE WITH MY 2008 BERLINGO ITS ON THE XOVER BUT THE MODEL PREVIOUS IF THAT MAKES SENSE I HAVE DONE AN OIL CHANGE AND FILTER CHANGE ALL LEVELS CORRECT BUT WHEN DRIVING NO WARNING STRAIGHT OR TURNING LEFT BUT TOUCH THE WHEEL TO TURN RIGHT THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AS THE STOP LIGHT 

PLEASE HELP

THANKS IN ADVANCE

What engine is it and how many miles?

I ask because if its a 1.6hdi with a fair few miles and a dubious service history i would stop driving it now and remove the sump and check for sludge. What oil did you use and how much did you put in - type of filter used?

If not the above it could be a faulty oil level indicator.

[cph]

its a 16 hdi 133k no sludge in sump and it as a aftermarket oil filter and i used 5w/30 semi oil

Ihave ordered a new oil sensor for it but it is a weird fault

[cph]

the oil amount was about 4.5l

How do you know there is no sludge in the sump? you cannot tell from draining (do a search on 1.6hdi sludge in the sump).

If its still doing it i would remove the sump asap

" touch the wheel to turn right "

assuming it is a touch rather than a turn that allows the oil to slosh around - it sounds like some weird electrical fault, cannot advise what though.

Thanks all i had the sump off to check the oil pickup when i dropped the oil i have got a new oil pressure switch but i don't know where the switch is on the engine

When you had the sump off, it was clean inside and so was the oil pickup ?

[cph]

yes it was but it looked like the oil pickup had been fixed so ive ordered another one but when i had the sump off it seemed to be all clear as i said al i have to do is slightly turn the wheel to the right then yhe oil light comes on also could you tell me where the oil pressure switch is please

The switch is fitted at the front of the cylinder block above the oil filter housing or screwed into the oil filter housing.
