Are the numbers you gave from off your dash gauge???

Is the cold pressure 3.2 and hot pressure 2???

If they are, and the increments are the same as mine, then the units are in BAR or approximatly 14 psi per BAR.

Hopefully this is what is actually happening.

Those pressures would be normal for idle speeds - same as mine.

At highway speeds, pressure is right on 3 BAR when warm.

sounds like your good to go!!!!!!
