I have a new '03 C2 with 500 miles on it and just had to have a leaky oil sending unit replaced. Prior to this, I did not take note of the pressure readings but did today after it was nice and warmed up. It was reading upto 4.5 bars between 3000-4000 RPM. The manual says that it is typical at 5000 RPM to be at 3.5 bars. Can someone please offer how many bars they are seeing (warm) at idle and 3000-4000 RPM for comparison? Thanks!

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.

go to the search function and search for answer to your question. this, like most every other topic possible has been ridden into the ground over and over. fyi, my car reads just like yours.
Fair enough..I try not to cover the same ground and did not find exactly what I was looking for searching in the 996 forum. At least I did not ask about break-in. Thanks for the comparison..I appreciate it.
I seem pretty consistently around 5 bars over 3,000 RPMs.
looks like we can just archive the forum and stop posting now, since everything's been covered.

It's low pressure you should be worried about not high pressure. Like below 1 bar at any time and you have some serious problems.
i'm a member of the new york and dc bar!
