Recently the oil light on my Zafira (58 plate, 1.6 petrol, awesome bike wagon) has started coming on during longer runs, the first time during a heavily loaded 500 miler in France in 35 degree heat, but more recently in less challenging conditions on journeys over an hour or so. I’ve been regularly checking oil and coolant levels and not noticed anything untoward. It’s also just passed an MOT and had a major service.
I asked the garage to have a look at the same time as putting in for the service and they’ve quoted £100+ to do some kind of pressure test (i.e. further cost likely if it needs a new pump or something).
My questions are therefore: is this a reasonable price, or should I check with another garage? If it is reasonable, is it worth it? And what are the likely costs if they do identify something wrong?
