Lee,


About the oil pressure light, see:


<http://www.enter.net/~bloss/vw/oilpress.html>


This is also mirrored at <http://www.vanagon.com/> under "problems."


I've had the glowing oil pressure light ever since we got the van at
165K (now 183K).  I added an oil pressure gauge and now just monitor
what's going on; I recommend this for anyone.


It's an old engine, but still makes decent oil pressure at running
RPM, so I keep running & saving my pennies for a rebuild one of these
days when P(psig) < RPM/100 consistently.
