Charlie28 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I had this problem the other day. Do not start your car without oil pressure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 I had this problem the other day. Do not start your car without oil pressure did you get to the bottom of it mate? See I've got dome pressure as the filter is getting wet it's a strange one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie28 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Remove spark plug, king lead & EFI fuse. Remove your oil filter and get a large piece of silicone house and put it over the filter hose. Attach a funnel to the other end and fill it with engine oil. Hold the pipe up high above the engine and get someone to crank the car over. Will soon have engine oil pressure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie28 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Filter hole I mean not hose! Where the oil filter screws on. The reason your not getting oil pressure is because the oil pump is empty and can't make a vacuum to draw oil in. So you need to prime it using the method above. Leave your turbo supply line off and you'll get oil coming out after a few cranks. The oil you put into the funnel won't go down too much so don't worry that it's not sucking it all in! Good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wickedep Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 check/replace oil pump mate. you will damage your turbo with poor/no oil pressure. dont start and hope for the best mate. identify...fix the problem first and then start up !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
