Just been out in the car and the Defi was jumping from 4bar down to 3bar and back up again

This was ONLY on idle but was fine when the car was moving.

WHY?

No NOT a problem with the dial as i can feel the engine lose power as the pressure drops?

Yikes

dose it have enough oil in?? the oil pressure will drop if its too low

if not then I would suggest the oil pressure is dropping because the engine is slowing and not the other way round, if you find why its lossing power then the oil pressure will act normally

i would get it somewhere for a diagnostic quick!
