i have an r32 gts-t, and a few days ago i noticed that the oil pressure gauge was reading high at 8 then i noticed it went to the halfway mark at 4, then i was looking at it and it dropped to 0. Something doesnt seem right...??
I have to replace the fan/alternator belt because its kinda worn and its screeching like mad, the powersteering went and then the battery died out....so im guessing the belt is f**ked and is slipping??
any ideas/help greatly appreciated!

well oil pressure dropping is never a good thing!
the rest sounds like you just need to change you belts

Sound mate. the gauge reads all over the place sometimes. what would low oil pressure mean? Originally Posted by s13-ste

well if the gauge is reading all over the place it could be a faulty gauge and not a problem with your oil pressure.
get an other gauge on there and see if its ok
