pil pressure gauge (stock) stuck at 4.

Oil pressure gauge is stuck at 4 kg/cm^2 when i bought the car.

It was unplugged so i plugged it back in. It works, but doesn't go lower then 4.

Is there a way to adjust it? I'm assuming its somehow getting a constant signal as it -never- drops below 4. As if it was the starting point.

My old s4 (this is an s5) didn't send out any signal hen the the snesor was unplugged...

wierd ~~

These oil gauges/sensors are known for crapping out on our cars. Your best bet is to now buy an aftermarket gauge and use that instead.
