Before I found this list and its wealth of information I dealt with the
oil pressure light problem on my 89 wolfsburg.  The mechanic working on
it wasn't overly familiar with Vanagons and so was stumped after
replacing the sending unit in question and the buzz/ light didn't go
away.  We decided to disable the thing and he installed a VDO pressure
guage but rather than putting it under the 3/4 tin he put it in at the
higher sending unit hole and the hose bends under the belts making the
VDO sending unit easily accesible.  My question is, am I getting an
accurate enough reading from this location (it reads about 25 at 2000rpm
when engine is warmed up rather than the recommended 29.  I have 20W-50
oil and a German filter) or should I consider going through the trouble
of moving it to the location everyone else seems to use?

Also, I've considered  upgrading to the unit with the dual sender.  The
old warning light setup is pretty much beyond use at this point so I was
wondering if it is possible to just wire a small light off the sending
unit to use as an idiot light.  Any advice or if anyone has done this
I'd love to hear from you.

Last question-  I unfortunately find myself in need of a new clutch.  I
was looking through the archives and found posts from earlier this year
dealing with problems experienced after installing Sachs clutches.  Ron
at the Bus Depot said he hasn't been having any returns so I assume the
problems have been dealt with.  Anyone had any problems recently?  I
found a post with some detailed instructions on replacing the clutch and
pilot bearing but I'll be having the work done by a non-VW mechanic so
any additional tips would be much appreciated.  Thanks for the help
