I have a 997.1 3.8s and I appear to have a faulty oil pressure reading.
The car was at Hartech in August and they pointed out that with the ignition on and the car not running the gauge is reading 2.5 bar. When you start the car it goes up to 5 bar and then drops to 3.5/3 bar once warmed up.
As a test Hartech connected a working oil pressure sensor and it done the same thing. They said it's not the sensor and the issue lays elsewhere. As I only had a limited amount of time I took the car away and driven it fine ever since. Hartech said there's not an issue with the engine as it does it with just the ignition on and there's no problem driving it.
It's starting to annoy me now.
If it's not the sender unit where else do I start looking?
Thanks
