What should Oil Pressure be at Idle when Hot for a 1.8 L-Jet?
Mine idles at about 0.75 Bar ( 10.8 PSI) after driving in traffic. Which I assume is too low , as the Green light comes on. At cold start I see 1.5 Bar (21 PSI). I am using a VDO 5 Bar gauge ( from late 80's VW Golf Cabrio) and matching sender. Sender is fitted to stock Oil Press Light switch location, via a braided SS hose. I have a recent oil change ( 40W ) and idle is about 1000 rpm. I am contemplating fitting the Weltmeister Oil Pressure Boost Piston kit. Anybody have experience with this product? Thanks |

I meant once the engine had cooled down. Ambient temp about 34 C ( approx 93 F ) |
