paceo 22 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 hi guys, my vr6 was running fine before the starter motor got stuck, so i hit the starter motor with a hammer and it started.but since it started the oil light flashes when engine is at idle and rev counter does not work?is the oil pressure switch the tiny sensor on the oil filter housing, ive replaced the two big ones as they were leaking a year ago and speed sensor has been changed.

Lukey. 381 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 The pressure senders are the 2 big ones at the front, low on the right and high on the left Link to post Share on other sites

Woodyman84 3 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 just guessing here but if when ur turning the ignition all the clocks go dead then couldnt that point to some sort of short circuit somewhere?or bad earth or something Link to post Share on other sites

paceo 22 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 right i found on the EDITION 38 forum, that if the rev counter does not work it will make the oil light flash untill the engine speed is measured.where is the earth for the rev counter located on the vr6?

Dave Lea 4 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Think it's on the inlet manni Link to post Share on other sites
