I know this has been covered a gabillion times before...I have been searching for the past 50-60 mins but haven't come across anything concrete.
Can anyone tell me what levels of pressure I should expect when:
Idle cold
Idle hot (80-100 degs)
Accelerating when cold
Accelerating when hot (80-100 degs)
It has just had a full service with oil and filter change. It seems that my pressure gauge takes quite a while to settle down to 2.5-3 bar from around 5-6 bar when driving normally (30-40mph). When I'm in neutral, the bar settles down. When I gradually accelerate the bar shoots up to the high ranges.
Before the service the gauge used to settle down to about 3 whilst driving normally, but would increase in pressure when accelerating, but not at the rate it's doing now.
Is this supposed to be happening?
