hi,

if you have to chose between an oil temp gauge or an oil pressure gauge for
your vanagon WBX...

#1. oil temp gauge: if the oil temp is too high, you would assume the oil
pressure will drop, the red idiot light is there and the buzzer will warn
you in case it's too low..

#2. oil pressure gauge: if the oil pressure is too low, you would assume
the oil is too hot or you have a major leak or some internal parts is
worn... but the red idiot light and the buzzer are there doing a double
duty...

sooo.. which one would you like to have? #1 or #2

of course having both is nice but this is for an argument sake question I
have with someone...

many thanks,

dan
