Audi Coupe oil pressure

tig124 · 06-06-2007, 06:22 AM

Just got a Coupe 2.6V6, have spent the last couple of days not driving it, and has been sat on my drive.
Went to get in it last night started it up and noticed oil pressure was running higher than i have seen it. Normally oil pressure show about 3 bar, but last night i could see pressure was at 4 bar, and rose to just under 5 bar, and kept fluctuating around 4-5bar until the engine has warmed up and then dropped to just above 3 bar. Is this normal? Its just I havent seen it happen yet in the two weeks I have seen it!

hi if you mean the middle vdo gauge then thats normal,always goes up when you first start the car up then drops down.You should notice it going up and down when changing through the gears like the rev counter.Hope this helps.
