Can anyone explain to me why the following occured;
Got in the car this morning (at 0600) and set off to work. To be fair I never checked the oil pressure reading as it is something I have never really had available on a gauge to look at in a car. I turned on the rear window heater/de-mister and after several minutes I formed the opinion that it was not working as nothing was happening. I did however notice that the oil pressure gauge was showing zero. Once the initial shock passed and I had pulled over turning the engine off I realised I had already done 5 miles and the engine was still running smooth and sweet. I started her up and continued on my way to work but the gauge still read zero. Once at work I checked the fuses which were all okay (I thought turning the rear heater on had blown something). Having completed a 9hr shift I got back in the car turned the key and 'hey presto' full oil pressure!!!!
The gauge is reading a constant 45 and as before the engine sounds sweet. Is this a problem anyone else has experienced?
