Pressure drops quite a lot when the engines really hot. Move it and check it better safe than sorry.

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.

POST 5Original post
evening hope someone can help with a quick reply just driven 400 miles today from Bruges to Stuttgart in my 2002 996 targa once I was at tickover the oil pressure is only just over 1. Does this seem too low? car is currently on a slope outside of the hotel so haven't checked the level yet & very hot of course
POST 6Original post
Just been out pressure back to normal thanks for the comments factory tour tomorrow so perhaps they'll just swap it for a new one!

POST 8Original post
Strangely they didn't offer! still on a positive note, car still drives like a dream & following a great day at the factory / museum (which was free with our pcgb membership cards) it's now safely got us down to Switzerland

Mine is around 2 when hot (but water temp stable at 80). When stuck in traffic and water getting up towards or over 100, it does drop to around 1.5 ish
