Kevin, Congrats on the oil pressure gauge, all Vanagons should have one. Just be sure to use the dual sender, that oil light will catch your eye quicker than the needle sitting at zero! Rule of thumb for the wbx is 10 psi per 1000 RPM for an engine in good condition. See Tom's VW pages for a discussion of what happens when things go too far below this benchmark: http://volksweb.relitech.com/21rodbrg.htm Kevin wrote: Got my VDO Oil Pressure gauge installed in my 1990 w/2.1L...can anyone give me the "typical" pressure readings I should be looking for during operation?
