Subject:Oil press. warning buzzer
From:Martin Jara
Date:Thu, 16 Oct 1997 10:23:20 -0700

Greetings,

The oil pressure warning buzzer/lamp in my westie comes keeps activating
even though the dip stick indicates the proper level of oil in the engine.
The problem used to happen only once every few months but now it's almost a
daily occurence; usually when I start the van in the morning. It keeps
buzzing and blinking for a couple of minutes then stops. When this happens
the gauge indicates 0 pressure but as soon as the buzzing/blinking stop,
the gauge goes back to normal. I'm tempted to disconnect the buzzer as it
is so annoying.  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, Marty
