I got to working on my 7 this yesterday replacing the master clutch and slave cylinder. I took it to a friends shop and everything went well.
But earlier today i noticed that my oil indicator in the dash was not showing ANY oil pressure. At first it scared the **** out of my pants. But pulling into my garage and doing some investigation I found that there was plenty of pressure and that nothign was wrong.
So my question is how would I fix the indicator. We could have unnententionally disconnected a wire around the clutch and made it disfuncntion. Where and how would i get this fixed.
Thanks.

Mine is hooked up, but the oil pressure gauge jumps to the very max as soon as you turn the key to ON, so I know something's wrong. Improper grounding? Faulty Oil-Sending Unit? What?

LoL..
Oh yeah, I have an oil-sending unit that came with my S5 core, right now the S4 oil-sending unit is hooked up, is it possible to switch them and it'll read correctly?
