[Vwdiesel] Oil pressure

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

My other early Audi, a '73 100GL, had a 1.9L of quite different 
design, not sure of the heritage of this one. That engine was very strong and 

absolutely bulletproof, all the way to the junkyard... the inboard front 
brakes were the 

  Sure it wasn't a 100LS (Land Slug as we called them at the dealer.  ;-)
  I'm wondering if it wasn't a European truck or tractor engine.  I remember 
a friend saw something of an article in an import VW magazine.  The Porsche 
924 engine was an Audi truck engine with a (not much better) different 
head.

  Dad just had a "fun" one the other day.  Vac/hydraulic brakes on the 
orchard gooseneck failed.  The master cylinder's single cup seal finally 
had it.  Trailer and tractor loaded on it was about 15K lbs.  Truck's front 
tires slid for about 100' I guess.  He took out a power pole instead of the 
4 cars in front of him.  Surprisingly only the RF corner of the truck and 
he seems ok.  State Patrol man said he "done REAL good."
