#1 condensation in oil pressure gauge

Post by neal herridge » Tue Mar 29, 2022 4:50 pm

This is on S1 roadster with an electrical oil pressure gauge.
Sometimes I am getting condensation behind the glass, has anybody also had this & did you have a fix.
It does go away eventually .
Many thanks Neal.

Condensation in the gauges was always a problem in my Morgan and may other owners. The general consensus of other owners was to carefully drill a small hole in the bottom of the gauge casing around 2-3mm which seemed to solve the issue.
