Hi guys,
We have had this car (Germany) only 3 months and it has been great.
Last night, just as we got off the highway the oil light went on. The
car ran fine, so I hoped it was just a bad sensor. We took a chance to
drive far enough to find a bed. The next morning I started it up and
the valves were making noise, so we are having the car sent to our
mechanic. The dipstick shows full.
Questions:
1. Isn't it pretty unusual to have the oil pump go? (130,000miles)
2. I just had the valve cover gasket replaced. It doesn't leak, but I
see a LOT of sealant. If the mechanic were a little too free with the
glue, could he have messed things up? I drove about 250 miles after
the job with no trouble.
thanks for any advice...
