You are right Dennis, the wrong hose was being used. I winder though about the pump loosing prime. No buzzer or light when idling upon first re-start after fix, only when revved above 2k. Then as I dorve with it buzzing, the buzzing stopped after about 4 minutes. Restart at home - everything appears normal. I'll check for wiring/connection issues with oil press senders. I have to say that the access to the senders is one of my pet peeves of the WBX. Thanks for the temp II sender connector tip. alistair
