Hi all,
Just got myself a new old celica. Really nice drive with plenty of power. However as with all used cars there are a number of little things that need sorting. The one i am struggling with at the mo is the oil level light on the dash, it lights up as soon as the car moves from starting. It rarely goes out. It is not the oil pressure, but the oil level. I think this must be a faulty sender or duff connector as the oil level is correctly topped up with 10/30W oil. Anyone had anything similar? Also does anyone know the location of the oil level sender so i can check the plug contacts for fouling as i gather it will be under the car somwere. The car in question is a 94 generation6 celica GT, UK spec totaly standard, no mods. Engine is a 3S-GE 170ish bhp , dash type 180MPH 9K RPM. Sunroof, Hatchback. Also how do you stop the ABS light coming on? Does it indicate worn pads? as i think they are low. Cheers, Leigh.P |

greetings,
Cheers for the info... i'll post the engine faults if any tommorow when i get chance to check them. As for the ABS i know the light has been on for the last year, and about the same time the clutch was replaced. I'm thinking the sensors were disturbed when the clutch was done as somebody else on anougther forum has also had this happen. Hopefully it will just be either the sensors are disconnected or the plugs/sockets have been stressed causing failure. Both should be easy to sort out, otherwise i'll have to find a scrappy near me whome has a celica to pull the sensors off. I'm still a bit miffed about the hole in my filterbox...... can you shed any light on that? Would it help if i post piccys of my car and engine bay? Thanks Leigh.P Together i'm sure we can beat this illusive problem........... |
