9000 V6 oil light concern Posted by EverettDave [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Hi All-
Although I am a 900SPG fanatic, my friend Val has recently purchased a very nice 9000CDE with V6. Miles around 60k. She has a flickering oil light at low idle and is concerned. I have heard about sludge buildup around oil screen in the V6, so I am concerned too. I will look at her sender wire connection first, then we go from there, likely to buying a true oil pressure test.
Questions: On the 9000 V6, where is the oil pressure light sender located? Will it be as obvious as my 900 turbo near the oil filter boss? Next, what is the Bentley spec for hot oil pressure for this engine? Idle or at higher rpm? Are there any cases of 9000 V6 with bad sludge buildup hindering oil pressure as low as 60k miles? Car claimed to be well serviced by previous owner. (aren't they all???)
Thanks All
