I do understand how the system works, but I want to be pretty sure that I don't do something stupid if I replace the 1.8 with a 0.9. Thank you for replying. Johan >> Hi again Johan, the .9 switch belongs there, period! Let's just say that I'm wrong, even though that I'm not, if you put the .9 bar switch in place the 1.8 switch, you just fixed your intermittant problem, that is if you are low on oil psi, wich you are not because obviosly you have somewhere around 1.8 to 2.0 bar of oil psi to keep the 1.8 bar switch CLOSED. Let me know what happens. Tell your VW engineers to look a little harder in the factory repair manual. Michael Modl, 87 syncro. |
