Thanks to all of you who responded to my quest to find the source for the blinking oil light and buzzer above 2000 rpm. I found the solution to the puzzle: a bad connection between the flat multiconnector in the dash and the printed circuit. (The oil pressure control module is actually behind the speedometer.) Replacing the instrument cluster with one from another vanagon (mine) helped me to further encircle the problem. I measured the continuity on the printed circuit by following all leads to their source. Then I discovered that the third connector (facing forward from left) was a little dirty. A little bit of scraping, reconnection, test and voil� the buzzer was quiet. I hope this will help someone else sometime. Thanks again, Bj�rn P.S. This will also answer the question asked under the subject heading "1986 Syncro Crew Cab 1.9 L". In case someone else was wondering, I already told him that his engine is a 2.1L Digifant.....
