Hi all.

 

 

Just wanted to say thank you to Jeff TT for sorting the parts for me ;) .

And all the rest of you that have helped me with my zed in the past few months.

 

now she's had her cambelt ( pulleys n tentioners) and water pump and oil sender fitted, hopefully now i will be out of trouble for a while and have peace of mind.

 

But i still have this oil pressure problem, even with the new oil sender unit, im still getting a reading of just over 4 when started from cold and then drops down to just above the zero. is there something else i can check? or is that just how its meant to be? oil and filter was changed at the time of the cam belt. looking at the invoice it says 10-40 semi. could it be the oil?

 

Kind regards

Nice one Jeff.....

 

....And to answer your oil pressure problem; no - the oil type/grade is not an issue as that was Nissan's original recommendation. My opinion is that even though you have had a new sender unit; do not rule it out for being faulty. Nissan has not always supplied fault-free OEM new equipment; just ask Jeff - he's certainly had bad batches of Nissan thermostats, among other items.

 

Only last year I bought a new OEM rad-cap from Nissan, just to find that it was not up to the job:sad: And I have had 2 oil pressure senders fitted to my ZX in the 4 or so years (20k miles) that I have owned it. The first replacement went bad after 12 months....!!
