Ok, my stock oil pressure guage sometimes sits on 0 at idle. Sometimes it bounces when im on the gas, I think the sending unit may be broke. Lately I have been hereing a sqeaking noise, it sounds like it coming from my turbo. It only sqeaks when that damn guage gets low. I hate to say it but i believe I have low oil pressure. Would this be signs of a low oil pressure, or just a bearing or something in my turbo. It doesnt do this untill the guage dropes down. problems problems and more fuckn problems. Im getting to the point where its time to say bye bye.

also, is there anyway it would be my fualt the engine has low oil pressure.? I didnt put it together.

What are you using to gauge your oil pressure? The stock unit? My stock unit reads 0 at idle But according to my Defi, it reads 2.7 kilos(appx 40 psi)

my stock one is all weird and freaky also.. it does strange readings... of course my engine DID blow up... lol

thats whats scaring my right now. I know the stock gauge is a piece but im getting sqeak from the turbo when the gauge reads 0. The motor has good pressure on initial startup, almost 120

haha are you making paranoid noises in your head? if you are so worried about it get an aftermarket gauge.

yes Im very ******* paranoid sence this is the 3rd motor that I have put in this year. The turbo has shaft play. wtf. Im about to sell this **********er!!!!!!!!!!!!

The design of the oil pressure sending unit on FD's is failure prone. You could replace it but it is most likely going to go bad again in a relatively short time.



I would guess your oil pressure fine.

I would, however, check it to make sure.
