After much searching i still cant find an answer
Basically, when i start my car the oil pressure goes upto 6, not amazingly fast, mayb 6 seconds or so.
Once i have been driving for a minute or two it will drop to 4ish then to 2, when its fully warmed up it will sit at about 1, even when driving, it does this most of the time, however sometimes, it does actually work abit and will rise back up, according to the revs.
Im going to replace my oil pressure sender and the oil pump (with second hand units) and change the oil to 10/50 silkolene pro S, will the symptons described warrent me doing all that, is there anything else i need to check or possibly replace.
Another thing for the last 8 months my car has made a tapping noise thats in time with the revs, it doesnt get loud and doesnt feel like its vibrating the car, it also dissapears as soon as the boost comes in, so im trying to rule out a knackerd bottom end, i origionally thought this noise was the power steering pump , im now thinking its the oil pump.
Any help/ suggestions would be much appreciated.
