Hello !

I'm new to the Vanagon world and I need a few answers .

1 -   I just purchased a 1988 Vanagon GL , 7 seater and the middle seat slides from side to side on the rails, I've looked for a 
       locking system ,but haven't found any . How do I secure it ,I must be missing some part ?

2 -   The coolant light flashes when I start the van and stays on until the vehicule gets warm then it goes away,I've change      the coolant sensor and a leaky coolant overflow tank,and it still flashes, the temperature gauge doesn't  show any 
      overheating it doesn't go over the halfway mark .  Does anybody  have any idea what I can do to resolve this ??

3 -  On my first long trip  with the van the oil  pressure light came on  after about 90 minutes of highway driving , again the 
      the van wasn't overheathing ,I just had an oil change 3 days prior to this trip , I checked the oil level everything was o.k.
      It didn't do the problem the next day in city driving , but when I drove back home about 2 hours it did this again . 
It seems  to happen when I take the cruise control off, ex: I cruise at 60 miles/hour everything is o.k. I hit the bakes the rpm goes  down and the oil temp seems to turn on at around 2000 rpm. I've had the compression checked and everyting is o.k..

 Can anybody help ????

Thank you in advance ,
