350i Dash oil light
Discussion
hello,
when my engine is very hot at idle
the oil light on the dash some times flickers the oil pressure is about 1bar , if i blip the throttle or when driving it all seems to be ok, i can get 3bar with rpm over 4800.
is it possable that a lumpy cam when idling could causing this to happen
does any one else have there oil light flicker on occation when the engine oil is hot
thank tony
P.s i never had this proplem before the new cam went in

when the idle dorps to 1000 rpm that is when the light flicker but not all the time just some times
tony
what i did notice is when i put a new oil pump and gears in the oil pump gasket looked i little thicker then the old one, would this have any bearing on the oil pressure at idle

I suppose the first thing to check would be the pressure switch for the oil light - but if it worked before then it would be a bit of a coincedence if it failed at the same time as you did the pump work.
Maybe some dirt got in while you had things in bits - and thats affecting it. I think the light is supposed to come on at 5-7psi, but it's too early in the morning to convert that to BAR!
