Dropping Oil Pressure - Yes I know.....

At least living in Adelaide, so easier to get to them..pain to get out of truck though. Might ask them for a replacement sender for mine...

I spoke with Matthew at Redarc. So if you ring them, ask for Matthew. He's got my our conversation we had on file....
With any luck i get my car back tomorrow. And i will test the sender unit tomorrow...

Hey Hodgey, yes it is scary...
Today my EGT/Boost gauge Boost went to MAX..but after a little while came back to reading correctly.
Starting to wonder about the previous mechanic who fitted them and do i need to redo the whole loom to close that out.

I havent tested my sender unit yet. But i had a look at it and its wet with oil where the wires come out. So im assuming its fubar. If i have time tomorrow i will remove the gauge and run a dmm on the sender wires to see if theres voltage.

Just thought I'd touch up on this topic again. I have tested my sender unit and there is no voltage change at all when the car is started. So I guess the sender is fubar. Time to ring Redarc.

I dis the reset all on the gauge, changed oil to 15w and did an engine oil flush at same timw and ao far seema to hold 》25 when warm. Bloody gauges...

Yeah i kinda wish i never had them (oil pressure and water temp). I keep on looking at them for no need. My water temps fluctuate a lot but the oem gauge doesn't move. I might even get rid of it and put a clock or something there. Lol.

Water temp scared me because the Nissan one hides behind driver's arm...and had a temp rise climbing thru the Hysen Tunnels... So fitted that one...and figured oil pressure to keep oil level checked..

Yeah im questioning the accuracy of the Redarc water temp gauge too. Ive seen it hit 110c on the Redarc gauge, yet the oem gauge doesn't go any higher. I know the oem gauge works though, as on our Dargo trip when we hit the black top on the way back from a day trip, it was a real long down hill run, it was bloody cold outside, both gauges dropped down.
