Dean @RW-Developments Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 ok i dont seem to be having much luck with gauges recently....the problem is with the oil pressure guage i currently have a sandwish plate with the oil pressure sender in it, usually when i start the car the gauge reads arounds 5-6bar then once its warmed up drops to between 2-3 bar but since today the gauge works normaly to begin with then starts flickerin from 1bar to 7 bar constantly going up and downand finally ends constantly at 7 bar wether im driving or not. ive checked all the connections ectc oil is fine oil brether isnt blocked, so what could it be and is it ok to drive its driving normally i think it could possibly be the oil pressure sender?? wat do you think??thanks Dean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Sorry to say but its probably because its a cheap gauge and its broken. It could be the sensor or gauge itself.7 bar is pretty high anyway so its sounds likeits reading completely wrong, its not going to do the engine any damage either.
