Oil And Engine Cut Out

[stuartvin]

Hi, Ive recently bought a 1998 citroen berlingo.

I was driving yesterday when the oil light came on, then all of a sudden the engine cut out. I have put oil in and checked that nothing has come loose but whenever i try to pull away the oil light comes on again and the engine dies. The car will tick over nicely until i put my foot on the accelerator, does anyone have any idea what it could be?

Thanks, Stuart

You don't actually say if its Diesel or Petrol, that would help but if its a petrol and then my sons zsara displayed the same symptoms and was a coil pack causing the problem. The breakdown chappie looked at it (he was only a recovery man) but without prompting "Its the coil pack breaking down"! I think you need to post if Diesel or Petrol but if petrol then thats my guess. The oil light is loss of pressure as the engine splutters to a stop but thats my guess.

 

Good lick John
