think thats the one...cos my 8 having very low oil pressure now as indicated by the defi meter & now got some knocking noise from the engine bay.
so do u know where can i order from overseas?thks

Have you checked your oil level? What about your oil temp? Is it very high? Low oil pressure could be due to a leak or lack of oil such that there is not enough oil circulating and cooling your engine sufficiently.

overseas??? u can try local parts dealer.. but expect to wait...

overseas wise, dun waste ur effort searching........ overseas dealers normally will not juz sell 1 spare part to u....

my suggestion is get workshop or parts dealer to find for u.... if its really knocking, then its serious problem for u...

at first i thought was low oil too but after changin oil still the same....oil temp is quite high, range from 100 to 115 degrees on normal driving...my mech already check the defi meter, no wrong there & no sign of oil leakage..
sigh..now also dunno wat to do...

THATS URGENT IF I EVER HEARD IT....
you need to get that taken car of. a low oil pressure in the 8 can cause a serious problem.
in a normal (piston engine) the lack of oil can over heat your engine and even create a minor hole in your piston (did to mine, after i had a huge anavoidable oil leak that was not my fault or lack of maintanence)

IN A ROTORY... MAN OH MAN. oil is injected into the combustion chamber, and the rotory produces more heat than a piston engine. do the math... no oil in the combustion chamber grindes your rotors and the fact that we produce mroe heat means no oil can extremely mess up your 8 and you will suffer the loss and have to pay or just give it up all together.
