[QUOTE="nightlighter, post: 35568, member: 4040"] Bobcat S185 lost oil pressure and shut down Replaced oil pressure sensor and it never showed another code or shut down again. Rod and main bearings are cooked. Machine has 289 hours. Warranty rep from Bobcat is Eric. He first said I must have tipped it over - never happened! Then claimed I must have got water in it - never happened! Now claims I was on too steep of a grade and allowed oil pump to suck up air - never happened! When the low oil pressure code came up and went through shutdown - the machine was on level ground after unloading 5 pallets from a delivery. Bobcat refuses to warranty the repair! It will now cost me $8,000.00 for the new engine and labor!!! Bobcat rep Eric continues to blame me - just not sure what for!? The new engine comes with a warranty I was told - the warranty did nothing for me the first time. Bobcats are reliable machines - but if you have a problem under warranty - Be prepared to be blamed for it!!! Keep in mind - Bobcat is now owned by a Korean Corp!!!!! Anyone interested in trading a Case or J.D. for a S185 with 289 hours and a brand new engine? [/QUOTE]
