Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Loking for some advice please. I have a 2002 911 C4S with c14000 miles on the clock.The oil pressure gauge was fluctuating wildly between 3-5 so I took it to the dealer to be checked. They claimed to find nothing wrong but since then the oil pressure has sat at 5, ie maximum, at virtually all RPM. Surely something is wrong?Also, the Variocam seems to be getting more and more intrusive when it goes through c3000 RPM. Should it be this noticeable? Migration info. Legacy thread was 13379

POST 2Original post

Hi Neil, The problem your having with your C4S, does the needle stick up above 5 and stay there? Does it do this straight away from cold or only when the engine is at operating temperature? Do you notice the needle dip when you change gear or dip the cluch for a few seconds while driving along? I have seen something similar before. Migration info. Legacy thread was 13534
