Alfa 75/Milano - oil pressure very low
Driving along the other day in my 1990 75 2.0TS and noticed the oil
pressure gauge was barely hovering above the 0 mark. Temperature fine, plenty of oil, no smells or smoke. Trip completed uneventfully. Gauge problem? It moves very slightly when I rev the engine, so it's not completely dead. Thanks! Squidge |

It *should* IME go up significantly when you press the loud pedal. Up to 3 bar at least (assuming you're calibrated in bars) If not, I fear there is a problem somewhere, either the pump or maybe the pick up. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 2.0 TS (two off) Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk |

Remove the wire from the sender unit and short to earth/ chassis. The gauge
should indicate maximum pressure. If this is the case the sender unit may be faulty. If the oil pressure warning light also comes on at idling and the engine temperature is normal or hot. then you may have a serious oil pressure problem.
