More trouble - low/no oil pressure
Discussion
The oil pressure gauge on my car fluctuated between 0 and 30 on a 80 mile blast on the motorway the other day and hasn't impoved since. I've checked the oil level and that's fine but the pressure level hasn't improved. I've read about the possibilities of it being the oil pump not being primed properly in S.Heaths book but could do with some more info. Is it hard to do at home? Should I take it into a dealer? Anyone recommend anyone in the hampshire/Surrey area that could do it for me - Fernies have already got a fortune off me?
I suspect if you really have low oil pressure you will find out soon enough, as the hydraulic tappets will collapse and the din will be unmissable.
I had this happen twice when the oil pickup pipe came adrift in the sump and it was pumping air instead of oil.
Your problem sounds much more like a duff sender or gauge.
