after bumps /hard braking oil light and slight ticking noise

Post by kickinthebongos » Tue Oct 05, 2010 10:12 pm

when i do an emergency stop or go over a big bump the oil light comes on and a strange soft ticking noise happens. in variably when i switch the engine off and back on the oil light goes off.

i had the oil switch replaced but problem still there

Just a thought... Any other inconsistencies with the dial pod read out when this happens..?

Are you looking at the right warning light.
Not sure about the bongo, heavy braking and lowish fluid will have the brake warning light flashing.
