Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2000 Porsche 996 45k miles A week after an oil change I started to get a high oil pressure reading on the interstate, 5bar +. I switch oil back to 0w-40 but had no change. I decided to see if the oil pressure relief spring was jammed. I pulled out the Oil piston spring, Oil piston and reinserted. Oil pressure settled back down between 4 and 5 bar. The oil piston spring was replaced at 32K miles to fix a Low oil pressure light on. A 13$ part and a 2min fix for over 100$. I have and extra spring incase the old one goes bad. 2000 Porsche 996 C2 Cab Eibach springs. Short shifter Fabspeed Exhaust.

POST 2Original post

checkyour oil fiter........we have seen a rash of aftermarket filter colapse and casue that

POST 3Original post

Did you find out what this issue is? I ask because my 2000 C4 just came down with the same symptom. Does your car make any noise?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Installed a new oil pressure sender, 54$ 996-606-203-00-M100. Oil pressure back to normal! A 19mm 45 or 90 degree angle wrench would have made it a very easy to change. The sensor is located on the right side of the motor.

POST 5Original post

Cool, I know who to call now when mine goes bad.

POST 6Original post

Actually, the part number is 996-606-203-01 (recently revised from 996-606-203-00). I got one from Sunset for $35.77. And it looks like the same damn thing they've been using since 1970. You'd think by now they could get it right.
