Barnes | @Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 I'm going to do some testing this morning of the sensor and wiring, but I think it might be something along the lines of what you're saying. The engine has 418k kilometers on it, so I bet it's overdue for a flush... Don't have seafoam here, so I'm going to change the oil + filter and throw in about 150ml of naptha, drive it a few hundred kilometers then change the oil + filter again... See if that helps. | |

A Seafoam treatment in the crankcase may help. If it doesn't, I can think of a few things which might be at cause for this, like a loose pickup tube, bent pickup tube, clogged oil passages, too much flash in the head castings, weak oil pump pressure spring, etc. | |
