1 bar on tickover doesn't sound right, when you first start the car from cold the pressure should be 5 bar, then as the oil warms up and becomes more fluid it should go down to 3 bar, this is when just left ticking over not driving, both my Coupes show 5 bar under load as in driving and only drop to 3 bar when stopped at lights etc. At 1 bar i think the oil pressure is too low, then again maybe i am in trouble
