Regarding the simultaneous lighting of the OXS and Batt light-While limping home one night in second gear due to a loss of a clutch cylinder, my OXS light and batt light started blinking and eventually went steady. When I went to check the alternator, lo and behold, a wire which has a spade connector which connects to the alternator had vibrated loose. I reconnected, started her up, and both lights were out. I mentally pocketed the money I could have spent at a repair shop. As an aside, while driving home stuck in second, numerous people, mostly in old beaters, pulled alongside and gestured as if to ask if I was OK. Sure beats getting flipped off! VW Sightings: Noticed two Vanagons, and old Westy, and a EV parked on the same block (1st St SW and N St in D.C.) Someone has good neighbors.
