No, VW added the dual sender/dual warning circuit with the introduction of the 2.1 in '86. It's pretty obvious they knew this engine was going to be harder on bearings, there is no other reason to warn drivers of low oil pressure at 2000 rpm. It's just too bad they didn't tell owners what it really means when the buzzer goes off! I'll be disassembling my original 1.9 engine this weekend. It will be interesting to check the bearing condition after 200,000 miles with 5000 mile oil changes. "Greenamyer, William L" wrote: > > Got a question.
