[Vwdiesel] Oil Light/Buzzer

[Tyson Cragg]

We run winter fronts on all of our 292 UPS trucks.  Without them, the
"heaters" are all but useless.  The 4.3L trucks can't employ the winter
fronts, since the engine oil cooler needs a flow of air over it.  The 292s
don't have the oil cooler.  Our fronts are brown (what else?) vinyl and
attach with fabric snaps to the opening over the rad.  There is a zipper
that you can unzip to allow for more airflow if the engine begins to
overheat.
