Subject:      88 Vanagon oil pressure problem question part II
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Dear Vanagurus,

First, let me say that YOU GUYS are the reason why I own a Vanagon!  Well, I
kind of like them too, but you guys are such a helpful group that my gratitude
just cannot be expressed. I'd also like to give thanks to vanagon.com and
vanagain. com.
OK, here's my question. You guys have been helping me with my oil buzzer
problem.  Can anyone clue me in to just where this mysterious oil pressure switch
is that's located near the water pump?  The only one I can find is the one
between the push rod tubes.
Here's what I have done so far. I changed the oil filter to a factory VW one.
I also changed the oil pressure switch between the push rods. When I went to
take off  the wire I found that it was about to break off. I installed a new
connector and plugged it back in. After topping off the oil I started up the
van. The good news is that I didn't hear the noise that was giving me chills
before. Some of you suggested that because it has sat so long the lifters may be
sticky. Hopefully, that is it! I still need to find that oil pressure switch
that's near the water pump. If anyone can send me a photo of the area (showing
the switch) and/or how to unearth it via e-mail I would really appreciate it.
I need to figure out these issues before I list the BUs for sale. I don't like
selling "mystery" machines.
Thanks again!
Dave
