Sudden shift of oil pressure from 4.5 bar to less then 2 bar over 2.5 months 200 1990

Oil pressure as low as that is certainly a cause for concern.
Some possibilities:

1. Faulty gauge?
2. Run a crankshaft bearing - does the engine knock?
3. Failing oil pump.

Others may have some more specific advice relating to 240s.

I would advise to stop driving it until you get it resolved.
