Nice car but is your oil pressure sender broken? Since my front plate o-ring vanished last year i'm becoming a bit nervous when it comes to strange oil pressure gauge readings.
Could end very bad.

@thomas- I disconnected it about a year ago. When I got the car it always wiggled so I just did what I did. I change oil every 3 weeks anyways so no need for the oil pressure anyways.

In this situation no. its just that its not on the top of my to do list. I know how to fix it, its just that i really dont give a **** about it right now. i have other projects that i need to worry about first.
Ah, no.
Halfway on the S5 gauge is around 185-190° and considered normal.
You're right about it not being linear though...it'll sit at 1/2 till temps reach about 215° or so and if it goes higher, you're getting in trouble.
I think it's ridiculous that people depend on either the S4 or S5 water temp gauge when a real gauge is so cheap (VDO Vision series w/ sensor is @$35).

I always did hate fractions in school, lol. Youre right, the s5 does sit at 1/2. I drive an s4 and the gauge is linear, however that is of little utility if you dont know what that corresponds to in real #'s. I only know because I sat and watched my rtek as the temps rose so I could see for myself.
I actually had a vdo gauge, but it was mechanical so I sold it.

So basically you guys are saying this is too hot for an S5? It's always been at this point. I'll go buy an aftermarket gauge ASAP.

Cool, jap or euro-spec?
Anyways, mine sat at 1/2 untill I fiddled with it when making my own faces, then it started to go 1/4 of the way, done it since. But I'd rather have a gauge going to the middle, easier to notice when it is where it is supposed to, and more are to go on to see exactly how warm it is compared to how warm it should be
Anyways, nice car, mate, would love to have a coupe, I really hate having two seats, even tho all jap cars with rear seats are really for amputees. How did you do the doors with suede? Can you post a quick how-to? I would love to do something like that to my dashboard and the vinyl parts on the doors, I hate that fugly grey color I got in my ancient S4!

sorry to here about that bro it sucks when your **** gets robbed, some one did my hole shed over a few years back. had loads of rare/jdm aftermarket parts i had collected over the years all gone in one day
Dude that sucks I feel for you man. If there's one thing I can't stand it's thieves. You work your *** off to pay for something and they just come and ******* steal it. ******* scumbags contribute nothing to society. And they're probably haters. Good luck bro.
