Glad you enjoyed it...

You might find it hard to believe but I DID reverse
engineer that damn system after losing the motor. I
really lost confidence in the warning systems. So I
wanted to understand them better and add audible
alerts (if possible, school style bells...:-)

My only source were the Bentley wiring diagrams,
kindly provided to me by other nice list members, my
common sense and experience and the parts themselves.

Dunno. The Bentley is rather scarce on decriptions and
the Haynes manual doesn't go into real depth either.
I think the best option is to ask the gurus on this
list (glad to have joined them on this particular
subject...:-)

BTW, the oil pressure warning system (called "dynamic
pressure warning system" or such) is even more complex
(and smart? those Germans...).
AFAI rememeber, There were descriptions of it's
functionality on the list. Do a search in the
archives.
