Hi guys,
my gf just bought a small car (ford ka, 2007, 1.3i hb) to get around town. Had to buy second hand car, been promised the car had is scheduled maintenance every time. Car has been running fine for a month, but then oil pressure light came on some time ago.
Started by chaning oil & filter, no oil came out when releasing the oil plug.
Some kind of debris was blocking the hole. (see pictures)
Oil came out once we poked around the hole, releasing the blockage.
Cleaned it out as much as we could, replaced filter & oil. But we still have the same issue. I think maybe the oil pump is having trouble sucking up oil from the sump because it's blocked by the debris? Or the oil pressure switch is having trouble reading oil pressure level because of that stuff in oil?
If the motor is running without warning sign, the motor is really running fine. No clattering noise, oil visibly being pumped around.
Most of the time , the problems occurs when the engine is cold by the way.
Anyone got some advice?
thanks
ps: i did not find gold =(
