Re: 1.6 NA Diesel Oil Pressure
Hey thanks for the reply/info. Ever hear of such a scenario being limited to the oil pump? I might be trying too hard to remain in denial here but was thinking that since my oil pressure does eventually seem reasonable and considering it probably has straight 30 in it now, maybe I would be lucky eno...

1.6 NA Diesel Oil Pressure
Hello, I recently got my hands on an '82 Vanagon Westy Diesel and could use a little advice. I've never owned a vw diesel before this one but do have a basic understanding of engines in general. One frightfull thing that I noticed right away was that the oil pressure light on the dash stays on for w...
