Default idle and 8 bar oil pressure

Hi,

I am not sure if the two issues are related, when my car is idling after it is warmed up, a clucking sound starts to come from the top of the engine "yes I'm not very technical" my tuner lifted everything and can't spot any noticible issues... he said he will change the belt tensioner... the idle is fine on start up just when it gets a bit hot...

the oil pressure gauge is saying that I have a constant pressure of the max... am not sure if its an issue with the system or if the oil pressure is maxed out consistently, this is on idle as well...

any ideas or info would be greatly appreciated.


cheers

If your oil pressure is showing full max on the gauge, the sender is probably bad. I would replace it and see if that doesn't fix your problem.
