Soonto_HAS_soop Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Gauge. What are the figures showing on the gauges, forget the warning that is set by you or the previous owner. Temp will be low when you first start. What does the temp go upto when the car is on full chat, what does the pressure start off at when started from cold.

Clarkey Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 the pressure goes to just over 60 when first started then it dropps to 20 when the car is on idle When you mean 60 & 20 .. I'm assuming you mean 6.0 and 2.0 bar. In which case, that's very similar to mine. On a cold start - my oil pressure is about that .. and on hot idle it's 1.75 bar.

brian73united Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Oil temp is the wire snapped on the controller unit and it is 2.0 on the oil pressure James when the last time i was at turbofit and my fuel pressure gauge was giving that warning sound it still does it do you think it has something to do with fcd making it under fueling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renar Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 do you have any oil coolers, oli catch cans ? Did the oil pressure drop to a "low" level after some mod or did you just install the gauge and notice it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
