gumpy000 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Hey peeps. I haven't researched this exactly as I know I can trust this site. So haven't noticed this before but driving home from work and noticed my oil pressure psi was basically in the middle. Rise when I put my put down and lowered when off the gas. But.. but battery volts were near the top?? Is this normal? What should both be? Cheers. Quote
AMT Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) psi to roughly check should be 60 at 60mph and as for the battery voltage, it'll sit at 14 when driving about with all the other electric stuff on. What do you mean near the top, what figure is it sitting at? Edited March 21, 2015 by AMT Quote

What is the psi reading with the ignition on without starting the engine, it should be zero before you start it. My psi reading started going like that when the sensor started playing up, now I turn the ignition on and I get full deflection before starting the engine. Was a real worry when it first did it, still need to replace the sensor. Volts should be 14 or thereabouts. Quote
gumpy000 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 So it could be fine then. Lol. Just haven't noticed it being like that before. But then again. Haven't paid too much attention to it I guess. Cheers tho. Il check psi tomo. Quote
TimC Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) So the volts are just before 16. I think I am right in saying the volt meter measures output of the alternator, so a high reading may point to something with alternator maybe.II'm sure others will know more about that than me. PSI may be nothing to worry about other than sensor, mine went to full deflection in the morning after it was about half way the night before. Edited March 21, 2015 by TimC Quote
AMT Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Not so sure it should be sitting just below the 16V, but some more experience folk on here will hopefully let you know but it generally should be 14V or fairly near it I'm pretty sure. Quote
gumpy000 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 Il check today what it's actually on. Cheers peeps. Quote
gumpy000 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 Ok so psi seems fine. Doesn't move until engine starts then as u said it was around 60 at 60 mph. The volts are constantly sat at 15. Good ey? Quote
