oil pressure valve location(s)

Post by monkeyboysee »

hi all, still trying to resolve the oil pressure problems, time is very limited at the mo though.

i have plans to get under and take out / clean the pressure relief valves (after a good chat with another T25er).

i have a 1600 CT, haynes kind of shows one near the oil filter and strainer region, where is the other one?

cheers

Cool, thanks for that. If I wanted to fit an oil pressure gauge (permanent) do I put it instead of the sensor on the top?

You put it as well as the sensor on the oil cooler. You can see a light coming on better than a gauge going to zero.

Yes my gauge is run from a T piece that allows both light and gauge.
