[Vwdiesel] 92 1.6TD Eco Diesel update

[82 Diesel Westy]

You actually get oil pressure when you have the right
amount of oil in the pan.  Once I found the specs for
the amount of oil for the 1V motor or 91-95 motors, it
was 4.7 qts.  I had only put in 4.

I got 2 of my gauges running last night, oil psi and
boost, with lights so I can see them at night!!

So, oil pressure is at 60psi cold and 25 to 30 going
65mph, 7-10 at idle, but not low enough to set off the
warning light anymore.

Boost is around 8 to 10 psi for this K14 turbo, is
this a good number?  I am not hammering it, this is at
3K rpm top of shift range.


*** Vacuum line T for boost gauge....
Note, I ended up going to a VW dealer to get the
barbed 1/8th inch T that I needed to hook in my 1/8
inch plastic tube for boost gauge, between the intake
manifold and aneroid.  .57 cents, I can do that.  I
just asked them to show me what T's they had for
vacuum lines, nice hard plastic T.  I could only find
1/4 inch T elsewhere.  The other option was a big
clumsy brass plumbing T with compression fittings, I
did not want to go that way.

Where is everyone, on Vacation.
