  1. OK-I'm in Western NY so the Quest goes in the barn around Halloween. No point in trying to sled around in the winter. So it's summer driving, similar to so cal. 20-50 could be used. I am reassured about the oil press. (non) issue, and continue to browse this site and appreciate all those who have much more expertise than I with respect to the Starquest. I'm out!
  2. Thanks for the extensive background. So by your reasoning, seeing a 1/4 reading at idle would not be out of normal limits, and about halfway at 3k would also be within limits. I found my Chrylser Serv. Man. and it lists 80kPa/11.4 psi @curb idle speed. (kPa = kilos per ??) No ticking/clattering noted, so that seems to the good. I'd consider a different filter in next oil change, good tip. What about the idea of running 20/50 for warm weather? I've seen that mentioned in other posts. Is that relevant or not? Thanks again for your insights,Mike . T-
  3. Thanks-I'm just trying to figure out whether I have a low press. issue or what. Appreciate your reply.
  4. From a cold start, my 87 TSi goes to a needle's width above half way on the factory oil pressure meter. After idling for about five minutes, it decreases to about 1/4. From that point, pressure rises with rpm(2.5-3k)to a needle's width below half. Haven't revved past that point. Feedback? Any links here for troubleshooting? Suggestions of any kind greatly appreciated. Thanks. T
  5. Just want to say I had a good experience with Coil Spring Specialties. I needed front coils for my '87 TSi, and I couldn't find them anywhere. I just wanted a stock spring. Maybe others know where new springs can be found, but I didn't. Anyway, they made me a set of new springs for $68 per spring, plus tax and shipping-call it $80 per altogether. I sent them one spring as a model, and they fashioned the new pair from that. It took about 5 weeks. They were good to deal with, both through email and by phone. The new springs went in w/o a hitch. Now I need to see if this helps my camber issues... Anyway, if you want to contact them, search the term Coil Spring Specialties. I highly recommend them. Tom
