Monday of this week I took my 86 300SDL to a mechanic (MB only) and had a new timing chain installed purely as a preventive measure because I have heard that they should be changed at about 175K. My car has almost 160K. After getting the car back, on the way home I noticed the oil pressure was unusually low when sitting at a stop light. On accelerating away from the stop the pressure went to 0 then gradually went back to 3 as the turbo leveled off. My Mechanic has worked on this for the subsequent 2 days but can't fix it. Any ideas as to the cure for this wierdness. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Ron,
Did your mechanic resolve the problem? David |

I don't see replacing the timing chain could cause the oil pressure to decrease. I would take it back to the mechanic and request to read the oil pressure with a gauge connected to the engine where the sending unit is. If it checks right then you have a problem with the gauge or the sending unit.
