Hi there,
I have a 1990 VW Citi Golf 1800cc and Low oil pressure was caused by blocked oil filter and clogged up suction sieve at the oil pump in the Sump...maybe you have the same fault?.
Hope that helps?
Andy.
Most likely you have some clogged oil passages. You can try a cleaning additive but I prefer to substitute 1 quart of oil for 1 quart of transmission fluid during an oil change. Run the motor (in the driveway) for about 10 minutes, drain it and refill it with clean oil that the manufacturer recommends.
If that doesn't work, you may need to replace the engine.
Hi there. I hate to hear this, but hope that I can assist you.
There is a possibility that the thermostat is locked in the closed position. Have you replaced the thermostat? If not, that would without a doubt be the next step.Also make sure you cooling fan is runnig properly. What type of cooling fan do you have ( electrical or thermal )?
please respond at your earliest convenience so that I can accurately assist you.
sounds like a electrical problem. When you turn it is completing the circuit some how, sounds like wires are touching each other and making the horn honk when turning. easiest thing is remove the fuse if possible.
This is most probably the thermostat that needs to be replaced. It is a rather inexpensive repair or if you feel up to it you could probably do it yourself. It is well worth looking into because an engine that runs too cool will consume more fuel than necessary.
Try REMOVING the thermostat... if this cures the problem then the thermostat was faulty or incorrectly installed or the wrong T-stat. If this does NOT fix it then suspect a clogged radiator... (this would explain why the fan doesn't come on.. the thermostatic switch in the radiator doesn't warm up!)
