Daughter came in around lunchtime and asked me why the oil light would be flickering on her 2001, 195K Corsa C. ;-)
She added that whilst the oil level was low, after adding some more didn't sort the oil light ... and there was also the 'smell' of burning oil.
I suggested it was either a faulty oil pressure switch and / or there was an oil leak somewhere.
We nipped out and checked it and it was the oil pressure switch itself that was leaking.
I think this is the second time this has happened and she said the guy at the car parts place suggested they sold a lot of them for Corsas?
So, is there a reason they go on Corsas particularly (over pressure etc) or is the type / model of switch they use particularly weak?
