Greetings All,
I am back at it again.  I managed to check my daughter's 86 Vanagon with the
no oil pressure this morning.  It now has oil pressure, but it also has a
major leak at or around the oil filter adapter.  I assume there is some type
of gaskets or o-ring on this, but have not yet pulled it off to verify.  Can
anyone confirm the gasket/o-ring?

Also, I did manage to find the "ETKA 6.3 and download same to my computer
HD, and complete the install process.  However, I am unable to run same due
to a "Hard lock: error 14" that appears.  The op/sys I use is Win XP on this
box, so I was wondering if anyone could give me any clues on this also.

Brain dead also on where the link to search the archives on vanagon.com went
to.

Thanks again to all who may be out there today and a very merry Christmas to
all!

Greetings All,

My daughter announced that the oil pressure light (86 Vanagon - AKA: The
Mystery Machine) was on this morning and would not go off.  I know there are
two senders for this, one for high and another low pressure.  What I would
like to know is where they are and which one would be easiest to get to in
order to attach a temp oil pressure gauge for test and check purposes.  I
started the motor and the lifters do not rattle, so I am hoping that it may
be just a gauge or sending unit issue.

Can some one point me in the correct direction on this?
