    "UNDER PRESSURE"

    Just a quickie, oil pressure gauge occasionally working , what might it be?

    Dodgy sensor or a bad connection on the sensor, possibly the wiring between the sensor and the gauge

    Either way hammer ftw

    Should think so, just cant remember which sensor on the block it is that reads the pressure

    I did ask which sensor is which in a thread on here somewhere with pics of my engine for reference

    It's the sensor on the black of the block above the oil pump.

    Can get to it if you take drivers side wheel off or from underneath IIRC

    It has a single spade connector. Careful you don't break it!
