Took her down to service sa, ran well after some tinkering, no gas shitting itself again! But noticed some small air bubbles on the dipstick?? My oil pressure gauge reads 2!!! Could my oil pump be rooted? Atleast my temp gauge has started working now


Any suggestions??

The oil pressure gauge is pretty unreliable at best so an aftermarket one is the way to go but...

Are you loosing any coolant?

Have you added any additives to the oil?

Is the grade correct? Has it been over filled?

I topped it up with some oil as it was a little low when I purchased the car. Probably different grade oils. I'll drop the oil next week and put in some fresh. See if that changes things!
