If it's the oil buzzer you'll have a blinking oil light at the same time. But to hear what it sounds like: There's a two-pin connector that connects both oil senders into the electrical harness in the engine room. IIRC wire colors are yellow and blue? Anyway, the 0.3 bar sender wire comes from below over the left head, and I'm not sure how the 0.9 bar wire is routed as mine was not stock - but it begins down below and to the right of the water pump and comes ?past the distributor? to join the other at the connector. Unplug that connector and rev the engine past 2000 rpm... Yrs, David |
