Just because it was something easy and I've seen it cause issues before, I swapped the oil filter for a new one.

No change.

Could the check valve in the oil pump be stuck?

OK, switched the wires around on the sensor, it's marked wrong.
Gauge now works properly, 1.5 bar to 5 bar, pegs a bit under hard acceleration.
Oil light flashes when it goes below 1 bar.



Dash still beeps at me while the gauge is steady at 5 bar.

Going to replace the dash cluster voltage regulator, see if that helps.

Looking at the intake and dreading doing the valley pan gasket but it has to be done.

Also need to finish taking the dash out to re-foam the flaps and see if I can get the flaps all working correctly.

ABS sensors need to be adjusted, still haven't figured out that process...

Going to see if I can get the cruise control working and maybe attempt the A/C also...
