Mk7 euro 4 cut out then oil light flickered

Postby oldyellar » Tue Apr 18, 2017 7:24 am

Got in my mk7 85ps 2011 van this morning started fine in the frost cut out oil light flickered, started it again, same result, dont it a third time same result but glow plug light came on also with a diesel injector knock like the kind you get when its been hunting and cutting out.
I never had a chance to investigate the levels ect as i had to leave to go to a supplier.
Thank john
