I have a VDO oil pressure gauge in the center console gauge cluster. It is a mechanical gauge - oil line from the sending unit location on the top of the engine to the back of the gauge. I noticed this weekend the line near the gauge is full of air and only a little bit of oil in the line. Should I "bleed" the line somehow. If so how is that done?
Can I just open the line at the gauge and keep it higher than the sending unit area so the air will rise? Thanks in advance! |
