Hello all

I have an issue which seems to be common, my oil pressure gauge will read max when the car is started, and does not move.

I have checked wires and changed the pressure switch still no joy, i have also swapped wires around.and given it all a good clean still no joy

I have given up on the stock gauge, and have purchased a new TIM oil pressure gauge, however i am unsure of part of the instructions, it says to connect the metal switch to the side off the engine, now i assume this should be to the oil level or temp sensor?, does anyone know where this is on a 86 S2?, apologies if i am talking rubbish, i am not that machanical.

Cheers in advance

John

Hi John

I have a similarish problem with mine..it almost always reads 5 bar....BUT.....check what it reads with IGNITION ON and ENGINE OFF !

Mine reads 1.5 bar with no engine running lol...so its the gauge...

All the best Brett

Hello

The gauge reads zero when ignition off and straight to top when turned on

I thin k an external gauge is going to be the best bet, but just need to find where to plum it in
