i've just had a auto-meter phantom oil pressure gauge fitted
what reading should i be getting, its a MY99 UK turbo.
the gauge is in PSI.

thanks
Kevin

 

When cold, I get around 6-7 bar so 87 to 102 PSI (MY99)

whne hot, drops to around 2.5, so approx 36 PSI

Hi Kevin,

You got the mail I know, but I thought that I'd put the answer on here, too. Putting it in the guide may be an idea

Cold idle = 100PSI plus (off the scale)
Warm idle = 30 - 40PSI
Warm full chat = 80-90PSI

Nick.

 

cheers nick
thats the reading i'm getting.
i think it would be a good idea putting a readings chart in your guide, that way first time installers like myself would know the jobs a good un.

cheers mate
kevin
