Oil pressure

Nov 18, 2007 0 Replies

Hi,



My v6 cavalier sat idle for a fortnight waiting for me to change the gearbox on it.



Now that's done, I've got oil pressure problems. Oil light came on after driving it about 1/4 mile, accompanied by fairly noisy tappets and a clackety noise on top of that (sounds like a diesel...tractor).



Changed the oil and filter today, but still the same.



I'm suspecting the oil pressure release valve is sticking, but I don't know where it is to check (and I'm too fed up to jack the car up again tonight!)



Any suggestions would be gratefully received...



Thanks,



Iain
