The oil light in my '84 would blink a bit at idle after highway speeds in my '84. It did this for about 50K miles. I don't know if this was normal but it couldn't have been that bad if the engine lasted until 200K....

All, I am looking at an '87 Vanagon GL to buy. Everything seems great except the following: Idles low (to me) about 700-800 RPM. After 5 minutes of hgwy driving the oil light came on when it was at idle (with the AC on). I have had several Jettas and 70% of them have had problems with oil pressure sending system. Ie problem with the pressure sender not the pressure. Is this a common problem with Vanagons or is there really a problem with the oil pressure in this one?? Please reply direct ASAP. Thanks!!!!!! -Dan ThatVWGuy@AOL.com
