hi all
i'm starting to panic
as of late i have been driving from southampton to northampton.
after 90 odd miles of 90 mile/hr driving, when i slow down at a few roundabouts, i get a low oil pressure warning, panic and pull over.
if it takes a little while to pull over, usually the warning will disappear before i have a chance to stop
the warning only comes on once and then disappears, its not continuously on.
then everythings fine for a few miles maybe and it will happen again.
most days it wont happen at all
i have a 1.8t sport estate, W/2000 engine is an APU, mileage is 138,000
it is actually due a service now. oil is mobil 1 0W/40. oil level is perfect although i do have a "large" oil leak according to main dealer when i had cambelt and tensioners replaced 5000 miles ago. (in 5000 miles since oil change, level of oil has hardly changed, so much for "large" oil leak. they wanted £270 to fix it)
hopefully thats enough background
what should be my first port of call
thanks in advance
