I know its not a 306 gti but hope someone will help me!! I'm goin to look at a 205 mi16 today which i'll hopefully be swapping for my beemer. Anyway apparantly the oil pressure drops after 4k revs when driven hard? is this something simple like sensor or oil pump or is it something much more serious? any help please!! ________________________________________ You get out of life what you put in! |

Sounds like a sensor or possibly the pump. Hopefully nothing more serious. ________________________________________ Thrash her like a ginger stepchild!'Like a Dog in the bath' - Description of the struggle that ensues when you're banging your Missus and you call her by the wrong name. |

wouldnt last long if no pressure, if the seller wants to sell the car then should be to much of a problem for him to stick another sensor on it.________________________________________ 230 hp 2.1 16v XU 205 rallye on jenveys Project thread here309 3dr K20 Type R |

If there would b no pressure, the engine would die pretty quick. There also has to be an oil pressure light that comes up at like 0.9 bars? You could always have a real pressure test. Sensor, cabling, gauge, pump - but this has been said. ________________________________________ XSi 8V -> S16 |

Could be an oil pump or oil pick up fault, sounds like a lack of supply problem though,as the engine picks up revs it need more oil and if it can't get enough the pressure will drop.I had a vag 1.8T engine do this after the rear cam chain temsioner shed its platic and blocked the oil pick up in the sump. |

Could be the bottom pulleys not quite tight enough,as the oil pump drive is only 'clamped' by the pulley and theres no key in it,so if the pulley bolt is not tight enough the oil pump drive cog can slip. I had the exact same problem on my first 309 Gti,that was due to not enough oil in the sump  At higher revs all the oil was around the engine,so none in the sump for the oil pickup to suck up  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |
