Assuming the engine is fully up to temperature, it is high.

Should be more like 2 bar and 4 - 5 bar at normal operating temperatures.

There is a pressure relief valve that could be sticking or it could be a faulty sensor or gauge.

Have you checked all the connectors. A high resistance would show as higher pressure.

Is this something new or has it always been like it?
