[Vwdiesel] The auto shop from h*ll, part II (now III)

[jon]

Well, now I think we are into Part III on this. It looks like there is
pressrue getting TO the oil filter. But, nothing from then on.

The shop checked the gasket, and claims they are ok. Did not seem them
myself, so I will take their word on this one.

Some folks said to check the "check ball" on the oil filter assembly. The
shop claims to find no "check ball". Is there such a thing? If so, where
(the oil filter mount, oil filter, oil cooler, etc).

Also, the owner of the shop asked me "where is the oil pressure bypass?".
My reply was: "well, you have my shop manual, go read it". So, can
someone tell me where the oil bypass valve is, and how to check it. I am
sure I am going to have to tell the shop where it is.

Fortunately, they have been testing this all with a drill, so the engine
has only been run for a few seconds, at most.

Again, thank you for all the help. I will be sure to continue to report on
this saga, so someone else can benefit from this fiasco.
