Low oil level switch-Vigo

Post by Riaan99 »

Oil low level liggie is af wanner sy idle, maar gaan aan as sy oor so 100km/h gaan, en gaan weer af as ek die clutch trap en laat idle terwyl ek ry....vra vir Toyota om net gou vir my te loer of daar nie dalk 'n draadjie deurgeskuur het nie en die kanse dat iets dalk nat kon word was 100%. Die Mac het gou onder haar rok geloer en die oil level switch gebrug...'n draai gery en liggie bly af, so dis defnitief 'n defek switch....het daarna gaan uitvind wat 'n nuwe switch kos, iesh....het iemand al 'n boere plannetjie of het iemand al probeer om so 'n switch te fix want ek gaan wragtag nou nie R3500 vir 'n level switch betaal nie!? :shock: Dit kan seker nie rocket science wees nie? :wth: Die Mac se dis 'n meganiese switch, en na 'n tydperk kry hul skade van die geruk en pluk.....

Ek hou die oil pressure liggie soos 'n valk-oog dop, omdat ek weet die low level is gebrug...ek weet dis nou nie 'n Ford nie maar mens weet nooit wanneer 'n klip die sump 'n gat in slaan nie....
..die kalmste is om belangrik te bly...

If the circuitry is similar to the KZ's one, then you will have two switches. one for oil level, the other for oil pressure, the oil level one is cheaper to replace (on the side of the block) and the pressure one is on the sump (on the KZ), Gemini asks R2,5k for it :shock2: (I'm still saving up for mine)

Good luck with yours :thumbup:
Dunno if that helps you :think:
