Question for diesel auto owners who service their own car.
I've today carried out an oil service on my connie auto and an issue that I've had since I first serviced the car back nearly 4 years , is that the oil light goes off instantly even after the first start up and filter change. I have driven the car over 40,000 miles and carried out 4 oil changes. My doubting mind had me thinking that some bodger had wired up the oil light to the alternator light due to a fault with the oil pressure and part exchanged the car !
The engine is sweet and no untoward noises have been heard over the years .
My best mate came over for a coffee whilst I did the oil change and I mentioned this issue in passing and said I don't think the engine has a problem and as a mark 2 diesel owner himself said his car does the same !
My manual tourer warning light goes out once the oil filter fills up as you would expect , so does anyone else have this quirk , a bit like the brake failure warning message on cold winter start ups !
