Had a slight oil leak issue which has now been resolved.
I've now noticed my oils pressure sitting between 6-8? Dipping to 4 on idle? Before it never went over 6.
Any help appreciated?

It'll sit higher when cold, Krish. 6 bar at idle cold is healthy and normal, it'll blip up slightly once you increase revs. As the engine warms up oil pressure will decrease as the oil thins out but it'll increase up to about 6 bar again as the revs get higher. Cold weather tends to give you higher oil pressure readings also.

Nice one bud.. The oil feed back to the block from the turbo was proper shagged. Couldn't get in to Gary so used the garage down the road!
How's life in the Evo?

The Evo has given me nothing but problems, mate. It was off the road for nearly two months with issues and waiting for parts to arrive. Got it all up and running a few weeks back and the Koyo rad sprung a leak in the core last week so had to replace that too. It's really testing my patients:wack:

Hope you're keeping well.

Luke, I would def recommend one after this. Didn't have one in my 14 but the gauge has potentially saved me a lot of hassle!
