300te 24v
I've a few problems, and was hoping someone could help!!
1) Dehumidifying button on A/C does not light, but A/C and Heater Matrix work fine..... Is there a problem??
2) Oil pressure guage starts at 3 on start-up and until the engine is warm, then on idle, it drops to 1.5 but picks up as soon as the accelerator is depressed. Is this going to be a problem??
Many thanks

Oil Pressure
My 300e is currently at 290k and has the same thing with the oil pressure. I don't believe this is a problem. If I am correct, the oil pressure runs around 2 while in park then drops to around 1.5 when in drive (not moving) and will immediately jump back up to around 3 when you raise the RPM's. One reason the oil press drops when you put in drive is because the RPM's will drop when you put it in drive. Hope that eases one of your tensions!
