Are these the right ranges?

Volts: 8-16

Oil Pressure: 0-5 bar

Temp: 50-150 C (assuming this is for oil temp, but not 100% sure.)

If these are correct what are the normal running ranges?

typical driving

voltage 14.2

pressure in bars 0-5 is 0-72.5psi

1 bar =14.5

new engine around 60psi driving

20-28psi idle

temp 50-150 c

122-302 f

driving water temp =192f

oil temp checked in bottom of pan around 134f

these are my findings with 5000 mile rebuilt engine and

vdo vision gauges and senders

peg on a cold(ish) morning, especially if you're running 20w-50 oil. I've seen 120 psi on my well-worn engine when the temp is in the high 20s-low 30s...suggest you get the metric equivalent of a 150psi VDO gauge (probably 0-10 bar)
