oil pressure

[Tono]

Hi guys & Gals,

Does anyone know where the needle should go to on the oil pressure reading, mine goes to halfway under load.

Also Just like to mention that I have had the surf for about 3 Months (I think) and have not encountered any probs so far (touch wood) not bad for 176,000 Kms

mine rest on/just over the lowest mark at idle and goes about 2/3 towards next mark when i hoof it.
Same milage as me mate!

Cheers !

Still sounds sweet at that mileage, I'm beginning to wonder if it has had a new head at some stage possibly in japland as I did not get any proof when I bought the surf as it looks mint under the hood, and also looks might fine. turbo looks new also

[dirtydog]

do you want to swap turbos then mate???
i wouldnt mind hearing someone elses Surf - Ive not been in another one yet!

Mine makes a lovely whistle which turns heads all of the time especially in enclosed areas

While we're at it where's the fuse box for the main beam - my spots aren't working and the wiring looks ok ????

Thanks

My oil pressure gauge also shows the same as yours. When under load it only goes to half but then I have just noticed that I am actually a bit short of oil (it's about 9/10 full). When idling it rests just above the first marker.

Cheers,
