[Vwdiesel] Oil Light/Buzzer

[dominique cormann]

On my 84 VW diesel rabbit, one of the oil sensors started causing my
light/buzzer to go off from time to time while driving. Revving the
engine usually made it go away. I thought at first I was having low oil
pressure problems.

Changed the sensor, with one from another diesel engine I had around.

Problem went away.

So perhaps check the sensor. The one I changed is the one that is
mounted above where the oil filter is.

The reason I checked this first was because I'm pretty used to the
noises that old rabbit diesel made, and it just didn't sound any
different.
