Yesterday decided to go for a drive and the gauge was up and down like a yoyo after the engine got to temp, especially on deceleration.
I have never seen my gauge go under 1 bar. NEVER. I get 6 on start, and 4 when idling when warm..and it always stayed there. It only goes to 3 when on a very long motorway run when the oil gets really hot.
Went to renault in the afternoon.Got an OE one back in there..drove the car last night and everything appears normal again.
So I'm not sure. Possibly a faulty one but I really am not sure about it.
