| FAULTS AND SYMPTOMS | FAULT ISOLATION | TEST REFERENCE |
|---|---|---|
| OIL LEAKS | Visual detection of oil leaks causing drips or soiling of the engine | A |
| LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE | The pressure gauge on the instrument panel indicates a decrease (sudden or gradual) of engine oil pressure: at very low pressure the relevant warning lamp comes on. NOTE: It is advisable to first ascertain that the pressure gauge on the instrument panel, pressure meter and minimum pressure sensor are operational, checking the actual engine oil pressure with a pressure gauge - refer to WIRING DIAGRAMS AND ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSIS manual - INSTRUMENT PANEL |

| EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION | Oil consumption will increase notably in relation to the stated values and those noted during the life of the vehicle. NOTE: High oil consumption during the first 8000 miles must not be considered abnormal as this is due to the engine settling. |

ATTENTION:
• Engine oil is harmful to the skin: reduce all contact, stains or drops of oil on your skin to a minimum: wash off oil with soap and water.
