Subject:      blinking oil light
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Volks, I came across a problem where I would need some helpful hints: Upon start everything is normal, all lights go out. Once the engine revs over 2500rpm the oil light starts blinking and the buzzer sounds. When you shut of the engine and start again the buzzer is quiet again until you accelerate the engine. There is enough oil in the engine. The engine has just been rebuilt completely. The oil pump is okay. There are two new oil sensors in the engine and the wiring connections seem to be fine.

I can only think of two suspects: the control chip in the dash or the pressure release valve. Any other ideas or hints on what to test? The Bentley manual has some testing procedures but they are in the end not really conclusive in this case.

Thanks for suggestions.

Björn
