have just got a scoob with gauges,
oil pressure gauge is worrying me. when idling it drops below o ,but rises and stays when revved. when gauges are fitted does this replace dashboard warning lamp? as this does not come on when key turned! do gauges generally have a warning light as well? is this just a dicky gauge ,or sender? is my oil press ok , how do i check gauge sender , pressure etc. also boost gauge stays at -0.5 when running , when booted it rises to about 1bar should it not tick over at 0 |
What make of gauges m8?
I have Defis....my '98 UK car ticks over at 2.0bar oil pressure, then rises to 6.0 under power. Are you sure it's reading 0? I'd be a bit worried if it was really no oil pressure! As far as the boost gauge goes, what you describe is normal. Negative readings are due to a vacuum in the manifold when not on boost, and are normal. A standard car will boost to 0.9-1.0bar .

gauges are racimex .
press drops back off scale as if car is turned off. as if no pressure thats why I,m worried press is at 8 bar if revved to 1200 rpm or above . where can i get a new sender? also what is a normal oil temperature reading . |
I think mine is pretty normal ,but reading will vary depending on oil pump, and type of oil. I've been in Bob Rawle's car, and his ticks over, and runs about 1 bar above what mine does. Uprated pump, different grade of oil.

cheers Alcazar , but i was questioning temperature!
also just noticed Demon Tweeks do T pieces, but doesnt list scooby in catalogue. is t piece just a square length of bar with 1 male thread on , and 2 females or a piece of tube? are threads tape? |
Ah, sorry, I should read the post properly, or not post after alcohol:D:
Right: mine varies between 90 degrees on normal driving (???????), and about 120 degrees if pasted. Didn't cause Bob Rawle to exclaim when I had remap done, so I assume it's good;) Can't help with T-pieces though. Alcazar |
cheers Alcazar.
no explaination required, we need our stella just as much as optimax |
