Greetings,
   As the new owner of a 4000s, I hope that you'll pardon these non-q 
questions... but first some background.
   I purchased this car on Friday from a fellow quattro lister.  The body 
and interior are in _very_ good shape for an 82.  The usual cracked dash and 
about three or four minor rust spots.  It was advertised as a no-start with 
a few possible mechanical problems and leaking valve stem seals.  Many of 
the mechanical problems didn't actually exist, and the car started with a 
jump.  A steal really.  Not quite a ur-Q for $100, but I'm happy.

   So, now the questions.  After a brief inspection, oil and tranny fluid 
change, I took the car round trip from Concord NH to Rochester NY for a 
 -albeit long- shake down run.  (I did take a shorter one first.)  Things I 
have noticed that actually cause concern mostly involve the engine.  The 1.7 
4cyl that came with these cars have a 3.5 qt. oil capacity.  I noticed the 
oil light coming on briefly several times.
   * Hard right turns and bumps that put your stomach in your throat would 
trip the light. No problem typical oil starvation due to lack of baffling.
   * If I was in fifth gear, about 2200 RPM and trying to accelerate, the 
light would begin to come on.  Dim at first with a little/quiet buzzer 
growing brighter/louder if I continued without downshifting.  This scenario 
holds for other gears.
   So right now I'm wondering if my oil pump isn't up to snuff, if I have 
blockage in the engine, or if the leaking valve stem seals could cause these 
symptoms...
   Are there any options (diff. oil pan etc.) to increase my oil capacity?

Any thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Stott

Afterthought:  I have an '84 1.8l GTI (JH) motor waiting to be rebuilt.  I 
have thought about replacing the 1.7 this summer... thoughts on this swap. 
 Sacrilegious?
