The oil pickup is responsible for supplying engine oil from the sump to the oil pump. When it becomes blocked, oil flow is restricted, leading to low oil pressure and potentially catastrophic engine damage.
In this case, contamination and debris were found blocking the oil pickup, starving critical engine components of lubrication. This highlights the importance of thorough cleaning and inspection during any engine repair or rebuild.

Paying R850-R2000 for proper diagnostics is actually CHEAPER than paying R350 just for an error code scan. ๐จโ๐ง
๐๐ก๐ฒ?
Because a scan tool only reads codes โ it does NOT tell you the exact faulty part or root cause. โ
Many vehicle owners end up:
๐ธ Replacing unnecessary parts
๐ธ Wasting money
๐ธ Losing time
๐ธ Still having the same problem
Then eventuallyโฆ they contact us to diagnose it correctly. ๐

Did you know that many Ford Figo 1.5L 4-cylinder models from 2017 onwards can develop a serious PCM (Powertrain Control Module) problem?
When the battery becomes weak, drains completely, or voltage drops suddenly, the PCM can lose memory or the software can crash/corrupt.
๐ซ RESULT: โ No crank โ No start โ Vehicle completely dead โ Communication faults during diagnostics
Many people end up replacing starters, batteries or other parts unnecessarily without fixing the real problem.
At GK AUTOTECH, we specialize in advanced diagnostics and module repair for modern vehicles. Using professional dealer-level equipment and programming tools, we can diagnose, repair and restore the PCM software correctly.
