🚐 Another one back on the road! 🔧
This customer's van came to us with a flashing oil warning light and a tapping noise coming from the engine. After investigating, we found the cause – the oil pick-up pipe in the sump was completely blocked with fragments of the oil pump belt, restricting the oil flow and causing dangerously low oil pressure.
We stripped everything down, removed the blockage and made sure the engine had proper oil pressure again before sending it back out. We Booked the van back in for a new timing belt, water pump and a replacement oil pump belt.
A flashing oil light is never something to ignore. Turning the engine off straight away and getting it checked can be the difference between a repair and a complete engine replacement.
If your vehicle has a warning light or just doesn't sound right, get in touch – we're always happy to help 🔧
