Hey Everyone:
Just wanted to know what I should do about our VW cabriolet. It's an 89 with 160,000KM. It has near factory compression, the bearings are almost within factory specs, and the oil pump was replaced with a high volume pump from a 2.0 engine. The problem I'm having is after driving for a while with the oil at 100oC the oil light flickers on/off at stop lights even with 15w40 oil in it.
I have 0.7bar at this time, and 2 bars at 2,000 RPM.
Any ideas? Common problem? Anything to worry about? Different Oil I can use to fix the problem?
