A9H-RX Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Over the weekend I had the defi oil pressure gauge warning me of low oil pressure. It used to beep low oil sometimes when the revs would fall to below idle (about 700 revs'ish or lower). As the engine is fully forged I was told the low compression does take affect of the rev drop to below idle. Now I did check the oil and I was a little low. I topped her up in the hope this would resolse the problem but it hasn't.. It isn't a constant oil pressure low either, it always fluxuates when I go up to about 4/5k plus then hold the clutch it or come to a complete stop.. Then it will bring itself back up..? Any suggestions on this? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-350 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 How long have you owned the car just out of curiosity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A9H-RX Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Coming on 3 weeks nearly. I'm still in touch with previous owner, he is sound as a pound, DSA have backed up full history of the car with him. I've got it booked with DSA for power run tomorrow but will need to sort the oil pressure issue first.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 What reading are you getting off your oem gauge? Might be a plan to check the oil pressure directly off the engine. My defi used to warn me of low oil pressure on very low idle. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A9H-RX Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 I've been reading off Defi Gauge. I've carried out almost 1000miles in it as well with no problems. I spend majority of time off boost as well to keep the MPG up so it isn't constantly being abused.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
