Røros, NO
Oil level indicator plug was not connected!
Wires to brake pads had fallen off!


For the last couple of days my oil lamp have started to
flash yellow four times at every startup.
Level is perfect, oil and filter droven 6000 km.

Any ideas?

manual said:
11 – Engine oil pressure/level
The warning light lights up for a few seconds
as a functional check when the ignition
is switched on.
If the warning lamp is red or yellow or
flashes it indicates that the engine oil
pressure or level is too low. This warning
lamp will also light up if there is a defect
in the oil level indicator.

Flashes yellow (defective oil level*
indicator)

If the oil level indicator is defective an
acoustic signal will sound and the warning
lamp will flash several times.
From the moment of the defect to

possible level sensor fault, its located in the sump.
Flat one at the bottom i guess?

I've got the acoustic alarm, but that one I had from before - because of the brake pads.
But the other day I found a loose wire behind the brakes at my front left wheel.
Also, it looked like the pads could stay on for a while yet (approx 15mm).

Maybe I should figure out the loose wire, and see if the acoustic alarm disappears.
