Oil pressure
Hi everyone,
Here are my other two problems.
1) Whenever I started up the engine--'89 Audi90, at the beginning, the
"oil pressure" gauge kicked up to almost maximum--about 5 bar. Then,
after 10-15 mins (or when the "oil temp" gauge hit 60F degree), the oil
pressure will automatically drop to about 1-1.5 bar. (I'm using 10w-40
oil.) The questions...
- What is the "normal" oil pressure on the Audi90?
- What is the Audi recommended oil grade? (I couldn't find it from
the owner manual.)
- Is it normal /or OK to have such a very high oil pressure when you
started up the engine? (If not, could you pls tell me what should I do
to correct it.)
2) My engine (just had 60K maintenance/service) always knocking when
the engine is cold and lost its power. (I had a small garage did the
"compression test" on all 5 cylinders, before I bought it a month ago,
and the results were 200-195-200-195-200 psi. What is the ideal/normal
pressure (psi) for the compression test should be? Pls Comments.)
Right now, I suspect the "Ignition Timing" is not setup properly.
- Is there any other place which may cause this "knocking" & "Lost
of power" I should look into?
Many thanks,
Nat
