If the oil light goes off while driving then short distances should be ok. BUT GET IT CHECKED ASAP! It may only need a bit of oil topped up to stop the light coming on

defective sensor can check your oil manually, you can change the sensor or just disable the wire to the sensor.

How many km before I must replace my cambelt and tensioner on corsa B 2002 1,4i. driving short distances

100.000 klms is the recommended distance
the destroyer of belts is oil so when replacing the belt , idlers , hydraulic tensioners and crank and cam shaft seal should also be done as well
if there was signs of oil in the cover , reduce that to half the distance

Clicking type sound coming from front left (tire), only hear it when i am driving and gets LOUD, tires are new and do not hear this sound from engine. I was told that a CV(?) joint was bad. I need this...

Short distances become long distances as the defect is ignored every day . It will take less than 2 hours in an accredited work shop to replace the CV joints but if you let it go for what ever reason the cost and time off the road will be very much greater.. This matter must be fixed asap

1999 plymouth neon fuses

Start by checking for a wire shorting to ground if that checks good you will need to go thru the circuit and check the amp draw at each component, fuel pump,ignition coil,ect. until you find the bad part

I have a 1984 dodge ram pick up with the mitsubishi motor and i was woindering if the timeing was belt or chain

1984 years came with the 2.0L, 2.6L gasoline and 2.3 diesel engines.

It's most likely a timing belt, but read further for more info. Recommended to be replaced at 60,000 miles (96,000 km) on gasoline engines and on diesel engines at 50,000 miles (80,000 km).

The 2.0 L Engine have two timing belts. One connects the crankshaft and camshaft, the second one drives the right silent shaft.

The 2.6L engine has a timing chain and a silent shaft chain.

Please check to see which particular engine you have and refer to the above for your answer.

Hi there,

Had the same problem with my motor it was the camshaft sensor and it's easy to fit yourself. Mine would start first time when cold then after driving even short distances wouldn't start. Hope this helps.
