No oil pressure on defi
Hi guys.
I posted up about this on Monday but got more info now.
I've got a sti hawkeye on 30k miles
On first start up when cold the oil light on the dash goes off as normal but the pressure on the defi doesn't register straight away until I blips the throttle. Then goes up as normal. Once I've used it and switched off I can come back to the car a couple of hours later and it will be fine. It's just on that first anishal start up when cold.
A few people on Monday said it may be a cracked oil pick up????
Any help would be appreciated. In located in north London if any one can help or tell me a good place to go to
Thanks in advance
James

As above, have the oil pressure checked with a mechanical gauge.
The oil pressure warning light ( or engine fu*cked light as I call it) lights up/goes off at 2 PSI so if the Defi's are showing zero oil pressure, then there is a good chance you have a fractured oil pickup pipe.

No not using a sandwich plate. I didn't fit the sensor originally so not sure it was used but has always been ok. Goin to get a mechanical gauge put on next week and see what that's saying

So it doesn't matter if it used to work, the tape or sealer may have failed.
Like a say, its a quick, free and easy check.
