Hi,
I have a 86' vanagon Syncro, and I have a question I hope you may be able to
help me with.
It has to do with the oil light. Sometimes (almostly always in the winter)
when I start it up and then start to drive, the warning light and buzzer come
on. It stays on for a while. Sometimes it shuts off, and then comes on again.
It seems however that after it warms up, it shuts off. Also, it seems to do
this shortly after I change the oil (every 3000 miles religousily). It also
does this for no apparent reason while I'm just drivin it. I always check the
oil to make sure it's ok. Do you have any idea what could cause this? Could it
be the oil isn't heavy enough? I use castrol 10w30 oil. I spoke with Mr.
Schmidt at the VW warehouse about this a couple of times. He has the same
vehicle, and he said he searches and searched on his and can't find anything
wrong. Have you heard of anything like this before?
If you know of anybody I could ask I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Marty Molitoris
