    2000 5.7 gsi fuel pump relay problem

    Yes, but only for a couple seconds when key is first turned ON. Once ECM removes the ground you will see 12V again Did you tell Bob that it was a fuel pump issue? Not that he needed to know but I'm assuming it would help make sure the problem your trying to fix

    2013 Volvo Penta 4.3GL Oil Pressure Drop & Valve Tapping / Rattle

    If your loosing oil pressure it's not normal and 10w40 should be plenty to keep it up. Put a mechanical gauge on the motor to verify pressure is dropping and if it is then there is a problem.
