[Vwdiesel] Oil Pressure Testing on an '84 Bunny

[David Cook]

I have a blinking light issue in my Cabby sometimes. 
I haven't really been able to figure out what sets it
off, sometims it will blink at high RPMs and not low,
sometimes at low and not high, sometimes all the time,
and sometimes not at all.

Every time it starts blinking, I double check the oil
pressure and temp gauges and they are always okay.  I
use the blinking to remind me to check the gauges
every once in a while.

Do you know the number of the relay that controls the
blinking?  I didn't know there was one, but I do have
quite a few random relays in a box, so I might try
swapping it out.

Thanks,

David
