help not sure on pressure???

[rick736]

hi guys my im a bit stuck wiv this,
this is my 1st clio valver, n it drives like a dream, alltho i am a bit worried about the bottem end, (a bit noisy)
but anyway, when i start the car from cold, i sit 4 about 2-3 mins let the car heat up a tad, but ive noticed that the pressure reading is high, like 6bar high when im driving, it does ease off when the car comes to temp!
is this normall on valvers?
i love the car, n not 2 blow my own trumpet the car is mint, frsh, standed as the day she left the show room!

thanx 4 ur help in advance

well when upto temperature oil pressure should be 3bar at 3krpm. when cold it cant be siad as different viscocities will give different readings.

thanx 4 ur help mate
