gauges
 
i have had some gauges fitted in my car but the oil temp never goes above 110F(even after a long hard drive) and the oil pressure sits at about 25psi (may go up slightly when driving)do these figures sound about right????.As far as i know they are all wired in correctly .any help would be a great

You're gauges should start at about 50 degrees C? (120F) is the needle moving?

to reach 110 degrees C after a spirited run sounds right, and would normally reside around 95 degrees C is normal driving.

Only showing 1.7bar oil pressure is low but passable on idle, but you should be hitting around 6bar (87psi) under load.

the needles move when its starts up but stays at 110 fahrenheit but like i said oil pressure stays at around 25psi. any ideas on how to check it
