    Those split-spoke rims look really nice on your Celi. What's the offset?

    :sad5 Too low and your pump/oil & bearings need attention - fast!
    Too high and you have a blockage somewhere or a faulty sender/gauge.

    It's OK for it to drop to the edge of the red at idle (as the pic), but it should sit in the middle during driving.

    If it's constantly low - try running a thicker oil for now and start saving for a new pump & bearings.
    Don't listen to ads and salesmen - your gauge is telling you what the engine needs

    Try swapping oil senders as well - I've found that they don't all read the same

    No, you have to use power steering fluid. Do you have no power steering at all? How bad does it leak?

    i know about the ps hose fix, currently i have the ps pump belt cut because i didn't want the ps pump to die with all my fluid leaking away. i've just haven't gotten around to doing the ps hose because i don't have time and looking for an easy way to get it back :sad

    if using the power steering back when i had it 6 months ago, it was about 5 drips per minute.

    Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto)

    ok, gotcha. I'm a little concerned about the rack though, that's an expensive part to replace :sad


    Oh I might have figured out what wheels you have, they look like Konig Lightspeeds - if so those are 11lbs each :naughty :fingersx

    6 spoke vs 5spoke? about the rack, more stress on them without power steering? would putting in some ps fluid help it out?

    LOL :eek:ops
    Not sure, maybe someone else can answer that.
    I think you should get the hose fixed and get a belt on it asap.

    i haven't had the low fuel light for the longest time so i decided to check it out, turns out the bulb was blown. so i replace it and now it's turning on and off slowly as i drive...and i just filled up 55 liters! wtfs.

    and my summer wheels are weird. it's very slightly wobbly. ugh i might just fork out for a brand new set of 205/45's

    jack up your car and spin the tires.....run your hand around them and see if their cupped or something.

    mine reads in the middle at idle when warm.....but if im pushing say 70 mph on the freeway it reads high, but only after the first high line......maybe faulty sender.

    Love the photos especially the ones by the glass buildings.

    That fuel light, could be a faullty sensor.

    Not sure. I'm guessing it would be inside the tank . You're saying it comes on and off randomly.

    I had a similar problem, but it was the "Handbrake on" light. I thought it was the brake fluid sensor , I changed it but it wasn't.

    that one is connected to the brake fluid and the little button under your handbrake. unless there's more? i'll change the sensor.
