**HELP, CAR OIL LIGHT COMES ON ENGINE CUTS OUT WITH BEEPING*

Post by emmie2511 »

Over the last couple of months my 6n has been running like a dream until one night i was on my way home doing a steady 60mph on duel carriageway, and a beeping sound started and the oil light came on and the engine cut out and lost all revs. I managed to get home and we checked everything out. A few months later it happened again. Once you take the key from the ignition and re-start the car it seems fine! Just need some advice on what this could be! :D :D

Either

One of the oil pressure sensors (from memory there are two) is starting to fail

The connectors on the back of the instrument pod aren't tight
