Oil lamp comes on in idle when car is warm (under 1,500 rpm)

Hi there!!
I have a Getz 1.1 67hp (1086 ccm) from 2008. I bought her second hand 1 previous owner. Got 3 months guarantee from the mechanic who sold the car on behalf of previous owner. So I can go and get **** fixed if smth is amiss within the first 3 months. Which is cool. 3 weeks ago I noticed the oil lamp flickering almost unnoticably when in idle and the engine was warmed up. I took it to the mechanic last week and they changed the oil switch. After that the light is now constantly on in idle. They then changed the oil to see if that would help. It seemed to help and I drove off. Then it came on again just as I got home...
I then took it back and they then changed the oilfilter and checked the oil pressure. Things seemed fine and I got my car back and lo and behold the light came on again...they are now out of ideas and I turned to google to search for answers.
Has anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it ?

Oil lamp comes on only in idle or when rpm is below 1500! The moment I press the speeder it turns off again.

Best practices for requesting help:If you haven't done so fill in your vehicle info and profile page. At upper right corner under the search box click on user cp (it's your control panel)
This info will show up to the left under your user name and is very helpful.
BE SURE TO ADD YOUR LOCATION SO WE KNOW WHAT MARKET YOU ARE IN.



  • Be sure you are in the correct forum for your vehicle.
  • Do a search for your problem. A lot of stuff has been asked and answered.
  • Do not double post for the same problem.
  • Give the model year....Engine size...transmission type (auto or standard)
  • Take a single issue at a time. Posting multiple issues at once will get convoluted very quickly
  • VIN number can be very helpful
  • Vehicle history can be good. How many miles. If not bought new, how many have you put on it.
  • Describe the problem best you can. If a noise can you get a sound or video file
  • Tell us what has been done, if anything, thus far. If tests have been performed give actual results not OK or passed. If scanned for codes the actual code(s) not O2 sensor or MAF, Etc.
  • If the vehicle has been to a repair facility it would be nice if you could post a picture of that invoice/bill
  • If your vehicle is under warranty you should have the dealer check it out. If it's a problem they see many times they will generate a safety recall of TSB. This is how they know of the problem.

This information can save a lot of time and get you the answers you need much faster.


Thanks,
Welcome aboard.

Quick question...I don't see anywhere in the profile information where I can fill in my car info? Or did you mean to fill in my car info in the post?
