id say theres not enough oil.

[Geth]

Definatly not enough oil. My 1.2 used to do it when the engine was burining oil. When you accelarate or turn right sharply the needle will move as the oil is being pushed away from the oil pressure sender.

Top the oil up and the problem will go away. If the problem comes back quickly you either have an oil leak or you are burning oil.
