 I'm having issues getting oil pressure after long oil change and the car having sit still for a number of years. It is a relatively fresh engine after rebuilt some years ago. I'm suspecting an air leak of sorts with the oil pressure regulator as likely suspect.

I had the oil pump housing off (aux housing still on the car), but don't know how to get the oil pressure regulator out. Or at least there is no pin that i can drive out. (my car is a Mk II)

I looked at the oil pressure regulator Tim sent, and it looks like i have similar one. Can anyone tell me how to get this one out of its housing? Or is it non-re-serviceable?

Also if I look inside the oil pump housing from aux housing side, then I see that the oil pressure regulator is pretty far in there. Is that the way it is supposed to be? With a screw driver I can press it in still though very smoothly.

Could it also be i miss a part of oil pressure regulator? (the most left part in Tim Engel's picture)

Appreciate your help guys.
