Subject:Oil pump priming?
From:Andrew
Date:Wed, 28 Sep 2005 07:41:33 -0400

I have an 84 Westy that has been sitting for about 3 years, when it was put
away, it had good oil pressure, but now it doesn't have any, I even removed
the sender and no oil came out of the hole. This is an I4 conversion 1.8L,
8v digifant II from a 91 Jetta, mounted with diesel mounts, oil pump, and
pan. Could the oil pump need priming? Can this be done through the oil
sender hole or by removing the filter and getting oil to the pump?

Thanks,
Andrew
