wild bill Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Went out last night, car fine(1800 wetsump VHPD head and Apollo Tank) this morning drive to work and notice OP is at 8 bar (maximum) and moves only a tad once car warmed up a bit. Having read all the techtalk comments i know this is done to death but i can't find anything that relates to this particularly. Is it likely to be the notoriously bad guage from CC, blocked pick up? car sounds same as usual and seems to drive OK. Did recently fit a one way valve in top hose of Apollo and this has been working fine any comments or ideas welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davef Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I'd suspect the sender first and replace that (or go for a mechanical guage - a number of us have done that) Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild bill Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 i assume from the searches that a mech guage is pretty simple to fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 if the oil pressure sensor wire falls off the oil pressure sender will this then break the earth and send the guage to full deflection at 8 bar ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
