g-dub 0 Posted January 24, 2006 anyone else got a oil pressure guage, what sort of reading are you getting when you start the car in the morning, and what pressure should you be getting when warmed up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2_Door_fun 0 Posted January 25, 2006 Hi. Yeah on start up I get a high needle around the 60-70 mark. When warm it can fall very low. I replaced the pump when I got the car. Just for good measure I did not improve much. When running it sits around 40?? I have done a search and read about 'dynamic oil pressure'?? Sought of two senders. 1 on the oil filter and 1 at the side of the head. As a point my sender is located at the filter would it make a diff if fitted to the head?? O would have thought the head would have been high pressure. usually the cam feed is high pressure as its the last point on the oil train? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kongo127 0 Posted January 25, 2006 According to Rober Bentley Manual your oil pump should reach 2 bar at 2000rpm with oil temperature at 80ºC. In the morning i usually get 4 or 5 bar reading. It rises down as the oil temperature gets higher. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
