Post by gmdrums »

Hi any one know what the problem is if one at all.

Noticed my pressure gauge sits in centre of gauge on idle and when accelerating is rises up then dies down when idling again.

Temoprature gauge stopped working as well hopefullt not linked.

Any suggestions advice would be greatly appreciated.

The pressure will rise with revs if it doesn't then you have worries, you'll also have worries if there is no pressure.
