Yes it is related, don't drive it. First thing you should do is install a new oil filter even if it isn't time for an oil change.

Could be time for another engine.The pressure switch measures pressure, so it could be the oil pump is failing, or there are blockages in the oil passages in the block or head. You may need to pull the oil pan and check the pickup screen to see if stuff from the head job fell into the crankcase.

• Drain coolant from bottom hose through a valve
• Disconnect coolant hoses from radiator
• Remove front body section and move lock carrier to service position
• Remove retaining clamps from A/C hoses near condenser
  
• Unbolt A/C condenser from radiator and support condenser with wire or heavy duty tie wraps Note: Do not discharge the A/C refrigerant. Support the A/C condenser with wire and avoid stretching or kinking the hoses.
• Remove radiator mounting bolts from both sides and slide radiator slightly to the rear
• Remove radiator and fans together from below
• Installation is the reverse of removal
  

There is no other release. Take it to a mechanic or the dealer. Or else just force the door open to reach the cap. Is it just a door cover or the fuel cap itself?

Dear Madam or Sir,

this is a well known problem with the immobilizer system.

See the following official tech bulletin :

Affected vehicles:
All models with Bosch RB8 instrument panel up to 2002 MY.


Problem:

Engine starts and cuts out immediately.

Trouble code stored: 17978 (P1570) - engine control module (ECM), immobilizer active.

Trouble code stored: 18058 (P1650) - CAN data bus, instrumentation - no signal.


Cause
Immobilizer fault.
System arms when ignition switched ON.

Remedy:
Access fault memory. If trouble codes present fit modified instrument panel (incorporating immobilizer control module).

Note: Immobilizer can only be programmed using diagnostic equipment.

the same switch thats for the headlights just move it to regular lights its a turn switch just turn it to right.Please rate my response. Thank you !

if compression is 80% shud still fire--did u test it or a mechanic just say that------ignition and fuel issues may be the cause----if reading is bad then an inspection for engine leaks is needed----worn rings and valve guides are common--sometimes a thicker oil can remedy

I just pulled up the Web Site, it comes up?Not sure what you are asking

the alarm itself could have an internal earth problem.... pull out fuse from alarm or disconnect alarm and see if fuse still blows

slipping or not actuating the final clutch pack (usually the highest gear clutch pack is at the rear of the trans) look for a torn o-ring on the piston which actuates it. just replacing clutches is not the whole job.

Time for a rebuild

WIPER ARM LINKAGE COULD BE BINDING.REMOVE WIPER ARM TO SEE IF WIPER MOTOR OPERATE SLOWLY.IF YES CHECK TO MAKE SURE WIPER MOTOR GETTING GOOD GROUND CONNECTIONS BY CHECKING MOVING WIRES .IF WIPER MOTOR SPEEDS UP YOU HAVE GROUND WIRE PROBLEM. IF WIPER MOTOR REMAIN SLOW GROUND WIRES CHECK OUT OKAY.REPLACE WIPER MOTOR.IF WIPER MOTOR RUN FAST NORMAL SPEED AFTER DISCONNECTING WIPER ARM.WIPER ARM LINKAGES IS BINDING OR NEED SOME LUBRICATION TRY WD40 SEE WHAT HAPPENS.LUBRICATION DONT HELP WIPER LINKAGE COULD BE DAMAGED.

Check that the earth strap from your alternator(if it has one)to the engine block is not broken or has a bad connection

In most cases, the problem related to blower and A/C switch lies with the fan controller relay which is fitted on the housing of the blower. It is a small circuit board and your fan is connected through this circuit relay and it controls the speed of the fan which further due to safety circuit controls the A/C. indirectly. Check that.
