Juast started my astra GTE mk2 16v and the oil light is flashing on ad off showing t has no oil presssure?
Was fine 2 days ago when i drove it any ideas
i remember i done somthing on mine cambelt i think and nudged the plugs on oil sensor and that brought oil light on and read no pressure,cant remember if plug came off or shorted on somthing now,but its worth checking.
its a bolt on the front of the oil pump take it out and there is a spring and the valve take them out and clean them all u may need to remove the pas pump

Right ive taken the pump off and then undone the big bolt 24mm i thimk on the front of the oil pump. Anyway out comes the bolt with the spring which poped out under a little tension but wheres the valve?
all i have is a spring and nut, sholud the valve have been in the middle of the spring if so i aint got 1.
Theres a shell bit thing in there. slide your finger in the hole, sure you will feelit, you might just be able to slide it out with your finger..
If not youmight need to just the nut back on with out the spring and turn the engine over then should move/feel the valve off so it will be sitting in the nut,
You can then clean it(make sure the out sides are smooth) and clean in side the hole,(just
with rag)
o.k done this all cleaned now but turned the engine over and the engines stil the same no ressure and the engine sounded louder, and knocking from the bottom. Pump?

if it's knocking, it's probably fooked. Pressure is created by the oil not being able to go anywhere too fast, when it's knocking there's a massive clearance in a bearing/journal somewhere and you lose pressure.
ooops double posts sorry. So what am i best to do now. Ive taken it out once cleaned it and no difference? Should i buy a new 1 or start stripping it down and check inside the engine and the oil pump etc
o.k will start tomorrow having a look, cheers for the help.
