Been told it's in the head?? cheers, Mostly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westy 614 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Dont think its as easy as that. I dont know where the sensor is but I've been told its about a $4-500 job so it cant be that straightforward. Glenn will be able to tell ya more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Its the oil level sensor in the sump and yes its a $400-500 job. Leave it till your next service if you want when the oil needs to be drained. The yellow oil light is level.. the red oil light is pressure. Give me a ring if your unsure 021921377 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
