Flashing Dash Lights?

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

This maybe a stupid Question but why does my oil temp guage flash when i turn the ignition (not turning the car on, but when im using my CD player etc....).....maybe because its cold??

 

Cheers

I could be wrong but isn't it normal for all the gauges to do this when you turn the ignition on without starting up?

Just been out in mine and tried the same thing, oil temp and oil pressure warning lights come on then turn off when engine starts. No need to worry!

There isn't an oil temp light at all.

 

If the oil temp gauge is flickering then the wire has probably come off of the sensor on the sump, if it touches the gearbox or subframe etc it will read maximum.
