[Vwdiesel] Oil pressure problem

[gary]

Worn int shaft bearings would cause low oil pressure everywhere,
including at the filter. Since he has 70psi at the filter, I doubt that
this is the cause.

I know this from first hand experience. My first Rabbit had very worn
int shaft bearings. At idle I would get a low oil pressure warning.
Mechanical pressure at both the head and the filter were low at idle.
