  4. OK, so i got it back today oil sump cleanred oil pickup tube cleaned oil pressure switch replaced some other bits and peices drove the car for about 1hour, and got the engine light come up, and then a quick couple flashes of the engline oil pressure low light turned car off, turned it back and drove anther 10mins to work.... obviously something still not right.. time for a new car
  5. hello all a year ago or so, i had the oil flushed on my 2007 aurion touring, because of bad oil. sump was cleaned etc. now, i had a general service done, a few months back because the VSC checking LIGHT came up. so standard things like, oil, air filters etc were done. i didn't drive the car for 3 weeks or so, and when i went to crank it over, it wouldnt start, i had to jump start. So after driving for 5mins, the LOW OIL PRESSURE warning came up, and the engine starting making a tapping/knocking noise, I immediately pulled over, and got the car towed home. when i went to open the fuel cap, it was very very difficult to turn open, but eventually open, and the oil looked gunky/thick i spoke to my mechanic, or said we will need to flush, take the oil sump out and pickup tube and clean them but if i the pickup is OK, then you will need a new motor. the servicing, has been a little irregular and it has done 260000kms, do you guys think the motor has had it?
