[QUOTE=jay see;844254]Well it keeps on going.

The wife's outlander needs a new radiator, the worst part is that the hoses are going to be more than the radiator itself. No one has all three in stock, thought I'll try my luck with a Mitsubishi dealer. $270 and they will need to order them in as well. The radiator was only $130.

Then there's the low oil pressure on the troll. I can hear the engine coming good when the light goes out at around 1300rpm. Looks like it's going to need a fresh set of bearings and I still need to take in for the A/C and the trailing arm bushes to get my pre trip inspection..

It's f@#$ken hot this weekend and I've been at it the last couple, next weekend is also out. Wanted to have everything sorted at least 4 weeks before the big trip and haven't even started on the extras to make the trip more comfortable..

For now f#$k it this is my long weekend.
Cheers all



I can't remember if yours is a TB or TD. Not fuel diluted oil causing low pressure? Or crap in the oil pickup or filter?

I am wondering around the oil pump and it being worn on the basis when the pressure increases the engine comes good? I did have a subaru that did the same thing - sorry similar - and it was valve guide stems seals of all things . I would change the pressure transmitter first, look at oil condition - assuming you have not changed anything, the ambient temps where the behaviour starts. Unsure where the oil pump is and if you can get to it . For a test you could add an oil fortifier to make it thicker and see if the pressure increases and improves? Just cant put the bearings into the picture??

Tb mate.
The last things I did was rocket cover gasket and new coolant. After that I started it up to get it up to temperature and burp the system and that's when it started.

I put new oil (20-50) and filter no change. I could take out the pick up and clean it out..

Pumps located on the side of the block intake.

Has new pressure switch and looks like it's working.

Cars going in on Thursday, might get them to diagnose it..

Haven't left a bit of rag inside the the rocker cover, or had a bit of sealant get into the engine. Since it only started after you had the cover off.

Definitely not. I made sure of it.

I'm sure I didn't, but now I'm questioning myself..

Sorry to do that to you, but after years in the maintenance game, I've seen and heard of tools, parts and rags being left after repairs.
