CaptainK 11 Posted February 28, 2008 Mine started doing that right before it died (oil pump death). BUT, best thing to do is check the sensors and gauges. I believe if you unplug the wires to the sensors and earth them to the engine or chassis that the gauge will read full. If it doesn't then likely its a dying gauge. To check you do have pressure, go to your local friendly garage who will have a proper oil pressure measuring system and get them to plug it in. This is how I found that my old 1.9 GTi 's oil pump had given up the ghost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisaGTi16v 1 Posted February 28, 2008 Perhaps a stupid question but where do they plug that into? Do they remove your sensor and screw their own one in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
