Oil pressure - Low and high !
Discussion
Following some more than usual inspired driving in my 91 S3C I observed that the oil pressure was very low. Car was shut down and oil level checked after a while. It was at max level and OK. At restart-up I got 40-50 psi straight away , but when keeping 2000 RPM constant the oil prssure fell fairly quickly below 15 psi, and lowre. Next morning, with cold engine, the oil pressure showed almost 80 psi at start-up! Needless to say, I'm not taking any chances. The car will be sitting in the garage untill problem has been found and solved. Any ideas ? Oil pressure sender, Oil pressure regulator - or Oil Pump ? (One thing I have not figured out is where the oil pressure regulator is on the S3C.) Looking forward to some valuable input.
Cheers. John
