right my display has started to work again and i noticed my oil temp was 160deg

I'm sure it shouldn't be that high, does anyone know what's causing this?

Your buzzer is related to oil pressure not temperature although your oil temp really should not be that high.  Have you checked all your levels are ok?

Could be your oil pump has had it and not circulating the oil properly and so it's not getting cooled properly. Or the pickup for the oil pump is clogged.

Were you having any of these problems (dash lights as well) before you pressure washed it?   Just wondering if the force of the water could have knocked some electrical connections off.

Be very careful if you have to drive it as the pressure buzzer is one step away from a siezed engine!

I doubt the oil is really that high, if it was yr engine would be in a bad way!  I bet its just the oil temp sender wire has earthed itself somewhere, its the black/green one either on the filter housing on an 8v or back o head on 16v.
