TT205 42 Posted April 6, 2006 My gauge shows very low oil pressure yet when tested with an oil filter mounted gauge the pressure is fine - replaced the sensor and still reads low gets worse when engine is warm and - yes there is plenty of oil Any ideas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonmurgie 2 Posted April 6, 2006 Must be a dodgy gauge/sender... mine has started doing the same recently Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonah 1 Posted April 6, 2006 Try cleaning up the connections in the "Infamous Brown Multi-Plug"... solved my oil pressure problems anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pug309twin40s 1 Posted April 9, 2006 check the connector on the sensor is nice and clean and check the wire goes on it nice and tight. i had this problem last week, oil pressure was good at idle and low revs but when revs went above 3000rpm the pressure shot straight to the red, no warning light on. so cleaned up sensor connection and crimped the connection onto the sensor abit tighter as seemed abit loose. brown multiplug should be around the gearbox, thermostat area.

TT205 42 Posted April 15, 2006 Well amazing as it may sound, the fault with mine was the camshaft!!! No3 lobe has become No3 'round' as in it's fecked - we got as far as a power run on the RR, it had lost 70BHP and was detonating like fek! I'll let you know what happens to oil pressure when I have a new cam in Anyone care to hazard a guess as to how a fekked cam screws oil pressure?
