Remember when you answer the light/buzzer system is functioning on either choice!  

I always want to know the oil pressure on the Vanagon. You can lower the temp by stopping or slowing down, which will raise the pressure.  I want to know the pressure under all driving conditions because it tells me the condition of the bearings. See my old article if you haven't already: http://volksweb.relitech.com/21rodbrg.htm 

I've installed three Van Café gauge kits on the three vans that have been in my life. I won't run without one.

Subject: oil temp or oil pressure

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
