Just fitted the gauge.
The voltimeter is working fine, but the oil pressure gauge is wrong.
When cold it shows 2 bar, and after warming up, it goes up to 6 bar.
Shouldn`t be the other way?? |

I wouldn`t discard a colapsed spring...
The springs rust, and sometimes break a coil (usually the bottom one).
If the car is tilted to one side, don`t discard also the rear springs. |
