Question about oil pressure gauge
I have the oil and boost gauges, boost one wasnt working when I got the car a couple of weeks back and I have now sorted that and the oil temp works fine. The oil pressure gauge needs reconnecting or something as its constantly lit all the way to the top at about 100 and never changes. My question is when I have had it fixed what should I expect it to go to, what would be normal readings and how and why will they change?

When it's cold it may read 7 bar or 100 psi, as the oil warms up it thins so at idle you may see 2 bar or 30 psi. As the revs rise so should the pressure.
If it's zero you need to turn it on.... or it's broken.
