Hello all, I have a question for the seasoned 231 owners. The PO of my car told me that it has "oil pressure problems".
It essentially went like so:
"You know those things have oil pressure problems, right?"
"uhh, no, I'd never heard that"
"yeah they do, I've always had pressure problems with that car"
SO now my question is, does the 231 V6 have any common pressure problems? are they easily fixed? Is this a common problem, or is mine just crap? I couldn't tell you how my oil pressure is since the gauge doesn't work (of course it doesn't, rally gauge pack), so I'm kind of lost. I don't hear any knocks or ticks or anything that sounds particularly malevolent, I know the oil pan leaks and the part where the oil filter attaches (oil pump?) leaks horribly.
Any information and help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
