Greetings All, I am back at it again. I managed to check my daughter's 86 Vanagon with the no oil pressure this morning. It now has oil pressure, but it also has a major leak at or around the oil filter adapter. I assume there is some type of gaskets or o-ring on this, but have not yet pulled it off to verify. Can anyone confirm the gasket/o-ring? Also, I did manage to find the "ETKA 6.3 and download same to my computer HD, and complete the install process. However, I am unable to run same due to a "Hard lock: error 14" that appears. The op/sys I use is Win XP on this box, so I was wondering if anyone could give me any clues on this also. Brain dead also on where the link to search the archives on vanagon.com went to. Thanks again to all who may be out there today and a very merry Christmas to all! Route 66 Rider!

I know there are two senders for this, one for high and another low pressure. What I would like to know is where they are and which one would be easiest to get to in order to attach a temp oil pressure gauge for test and check purposes. I started the motor and the lifters do not rattle, so I am hoping that it may be just a gauge or sending unit issue. Can some one point me in the correct direction on this?
