Where is the oil pressure lamp supplied from
AndersL replied to AndersL's topic in Engine/Ancilliaries
Ok guys, I'm still unsure where the signal comes from to the oil pressure lamp. It is actually strange that I cannot find it in any drawings. -

AndersL replied to AndersL's topic in Engine/Ancilliaries
You are absolutely right, but in my case I have caerbont gauges and cant use the one you have, mine and all other later S4 and V8 oil pressure gauges are reversed. High resistance is equal to low pressure on the meter, therefore I and many others have a different transmitter like the one @chillidoggy have as you can see on his image. Therefore, I look for information where the signal comes to the low oil pressure lamp. In your case, that signal comes from the wk terminal, but i have no wk terminal as you can see on @chillidoggy image. -

AndersL replied to AndersL's topic in Engine/Ancilliaries
right now i have a wrong transmitter with 2 terminals. when i get my new and correct as the one in your image then i have a lead in excess, so which sensor on the image is for the oil pressure lamp. -

I'm looking for where the signal to my oil pressure lamp comes from. I do not find it on any drawings that I have access to. On my S4 95 the signal does not come from the oil pressure sensor as many others do.

I have a S4 from 95 with Caerbont gauges, the oil pressure gauge 0-7 bar has always (since I bought it) shown the oil pressure backwards, which means it starts at 7 bar and then drops a little when the engine gets hot. I have checked the oil pressure manually and that is what it should be, the gauge Only display strange. Now I have checked the gauge and it shows high pressure at low resistance but the transmitter in the car sends low resistance at low pressure. so it is obvious that the transmitter in the engine is not suitable to the gauge. Someone has mounted the wrong transmitter, I

Driveshaft is leaking from the roll pins
AndersL replied to AndersL's topic in Gearchange/Gearbox/Clutch
i will use loctite 5699 instead of what many others use loctite 587, i had 5699 lying therefore fall the choice of it and i do not think it's such a big difference 10131_Charts_web_gasket.pdf -
Standard rotors / disc for S4 95
AndersL replied to AndersL's topic in Suspension/Brakes/Wheels/Hubs/Steering/Geo
You're quite right it's reasonably priced, but if I can find an item number for my rear brake discs, it may be cheaper. Maybe it's only our Esprit who use this size rotors and thus specially made -

AndersL replied to AndersL's topic in Gearchange/Gearbox/Clutch
maybe it's a good idea, I did not think there was room for two seals on the outside of each other -

AndersL replied to AndersL's topic in Gearchange/Gearbox/Clutch
I have similar consideration, but it's easier to just change and seal the pins ๐ -

AndersL replied to AndersL's topic in Gearchange/Gearbox/Clutch
Thank you, it was as I thought, it's best to knock out the pins and seal them again. -
Last winter I changed the drive shaft seal, now it leaks oil from the roll pins, I do not remember if I sealed the pins back then. The question is, can i just put some locktite silicone seal on the pin ends or do I have to knock out the pins and thus also switch to new ones.

Possible Oil leakage at the end of the camshaft cover
AndersL replied to AndersL's topic in Engine/Ancilliaries
Thanks, easy fix then๐ -
I have oil leakage that looks like it comes from the end of the camshaft cover. It looks like a cover, but it has no screws. Can i fiddle around with a screwdriver and maybe get the cap if it is a cover? The screws you see are those that hold the heatplate to protect against heat from the turbo.

Delco-Moraine ABS Deletion
AndersL replied to swindon_alan's topic in Suspension/Brakes/Wheels/Hubs/Steering/Geo
I would like to share my experiences with my new braking system that @Chillidoggy made on my car. The cooperation with the guys was excellent although, all they promised was performed with the best performance. I chose to transport my Esprit LHD S4 95 to Watford, to guys I do not know, I quickly found that these guys @Sparky and @Chillidoggy were very professional and I became confident. They sent pictures throughout the process and quickly informed if they found things they wondered if they were going to fix. My first experience when I got the car back was, what a difference now the car can
