Oil Pressure Help

[PR08RAD]

I got in the car the other night to drive home from work after having diff oil changed, I noticreda few minutes down the road the oil pressure warning light on my gauges was flashing, the warning flash.

during the day the gauges are white and flash red, with side lights on they are dark amber and flash red. as i always drive to work with lights on I may not of noticed if it was flashing in the morning as the amber to red change is very minimal.

so basically I have not touched the gauge, nor the engine oil. i've cheked it and the oil lever is fine. but yet the warning pressure light is still on.

My question is what should it be warning me of? Im a bit new to all this engine stuff. should it be warning of high or low pressure? I can set the point at which i wish to be alerted to a "dangerous level" but dont know where it should be i think the garage may of touched them and turned it down or up the scale. so I reset it but dont know really what im doing regards oil pressures. car drives fine though still

the gauges are these Visit My Website

I have enough other small problems to not be worrying about this too any help appreciated

Tried calling you back last night but you couldn't hear me

Anyway what oil pressure is the gauge reading at idle & driving along, also does the dash oil pressure warning light come on at all

I have these too! You need to set the warning to go off when it reaches a LOW pressure. Unlike the oil temp and boost which will flash when they reach too high a value.

When the car is warm and been running a while on idle the oil pressure sits at around 1.5 to 2 bar. So maybe set the warning to go off if it falls below this?

To change the warning value IIRC you need to turn the ignition on, let the gauges run through the start up, then hold the button in on the front (it'll show you the warning value), let go and then hold it again and the needle will step through the values on the gauge. You can then let go once it reaches your new warning value. A couple of flashes from it's warning light and it'll be set. Hopefully that'll sort you out!
