Sensitive oil sensor? - MINI Cooper Forum

Aggie_Devil · #1 (**permalink**) Sep 8th, 2003, 05:08 PM

I think I might have a very sensitive oil level sensor in the Cooper S. When the car has been running for about 30 minutes, the oil light will come on momentarily when accelerating. I can't make it happen though.

I checked the level and it is right in the middle of the stick.

Has anyone had this problem? Any suggestions. I am taking it to the dealer this week.

Thanks,

Jason & Lori

Have your dealer check the oil pressure with a gauge -- you could have a problem with the oil pump.

Get it done quickly. You don't want the pump stopping or not delivering enough pressure

What colour has the oil-light? If it's red then it's probably the sensor that's bad. I had the same and if you touch the sensor you can see the light come on. Your dealer can fix this.
