If you put the oil in that gripper recommend you’ll kill the synchros. That is as guaranteed as day turns to night, and night turns to day.
Redline mtl, or mt90.
Ultimately mate, you run whatever oil you want in the box. The main reason for my sway towards redline is because of the oil spec...
Just hot wire a 12v feed to the exciter on the alternator and see if it starts charging when the engine is running. That’s pretty much all that wire does anyway.
Confirms the fault and gives you a direct place to start fault finding.
These are the pin numbers I’ve got and wiring colours from when I did my custom loom using the gen90:
Earth - pin 15 - green wire
Signal - pin 16 - purple wire
Supply - pin 78 - 5v white/possibly pink wire

Does it get 5v if you unplug it? You also need to trace the supply back to the ecu and measure the output there.
A break in a wire would indicate 0v, so this sounds more like a resistance in the supply voltage if you still see 3.5v with the sensor unplugged.
Measure again and report back...
Have you checked that you’re getting voltage to the pressure sensor? The 2000bar may just be a default value the ecu sees when the sensor loses voltage/has a fault.
I definitely wouldn’t be taking it to Renault mate. There’s a strong chance they won’t have anyone there with the experience of doing the cambelt swap on the f4r. It’s not difficult by any stretch of the imagination, but it can be fiddly and it needs to be accurate.
Not forgetting they’d have...
Seen this car in the flesh and it’s a proper credit to the fella. He used to come into to Solihull when I worked there.
100% no stolen parts in this car. Started life as a 320d lol
Unfortunately the repair bill can soon creep up to be hilarious on cars like this. For example, if it’s got adaptive zenons fitted, you’re into £1k. Per lamp. Plus the headlamp electronics. Plus coding/programming.
All adds up to a large amount of money, very quick.
After you’d gone, me @Adamm. and @Romanian Shlong Stroker had an entertaining win. The other team got killed by the gas and all they had to do was come out of casino 😂😂
Then just to make it even more entertaining, Kyle said to us, nice game lads, well played, and the losing team lit up the...
What I find really interesting though is when you tell someone, in their native tongue that you know they’re taking the piss. That native tongue is Spanish. And that is the language they speak in Uruguay.
Now you do know that it’s against the rules to discuss moderation don’t you? This could lead to points, which may lead to a permanent exclusion from the site.
I spent £10,000 Ugandan dollars on a Clio. It had silvervisions, turinis and a Keith and Norman warper. Made 9bhp on the rollers and could easily outdrag a Lambo.
