Oil Pressure

[Pete-W]

what pressure should the oil generally be at in a 16v? mine seems to be often running at 6 bar, which is at the top of the gauge and i dont know whether this is normal or not. only got the car last monday so just trying to find out things!

cheers

ok should have read down the page first! got the idea now!

mine runs a 6 bar when booting it

sheesh, ive written it a billion times!

@80C

1 Bar @ 1000rpm

3Bar @ 3500rpm, above that is a bonus

Mine is about 6 when cold, 3-4 when 100C
