95, 993, C2 Pressure Gauge Max Reading

[eaw49]

I have a 95, 993, C2, 65K miles. At start up the pressure gauge goes to max. pressure. Is this normal?
Everything seems to be working fine!

I have the same year car and had exactly the same problem!

First of all, I was told that if the oil light does not come on at the same time then it is likely to be a faulty reading.

My mechanic changed my oil pressure sender (they cost around £80) and that seemed to do the trick.

A little fine tuning was required later on because my gauge was then reading 1.5 bars over what it should, but i guess i was unlucky with that.

you should'nt really worry..when the car is warm and the engine is idle doe's the needle move at all??
try small bursts of reving and look for any movement..
