I have just replaced the oil pressure switch on my van (as well as the oil, filter and strainer) after about 6 months or so of the light not working. Now it goes off very quickly on start up but after a while of driving it comes on momentarily when I stop and even on right hand bends when going slow. If I blip the throttle on tick over it remains off. It is a GSF unit and these things are not very dear. The unit operates from 0.15 - 0.35 bar which is very low pressure (about 2 - 5 psi). A) Could it be an inaccurate unit? B) Is it anything to worry about? The handbook I have says occasional flickering after a spell of fast driving is no cause for alarm. What are other peoples experiences?
what Keith & Trudy said.....mine only ever came on going around a corner when the oil level was low due to leaks from pushrod tubes.
